At one hundred years old, matriarch Isabel Marques looks out her window at the brilliant yellow blossoms that have witnessed her entire life in historic Ilocos Norte. Spanning generations of Philippine history, Golden Rain is a poignant exploration of memory, motherhood, and aging. As Isabel reflects on her decades as a mother, she must finally confront her deepest flaws, her hidden favoritism, and the fierce, heartbreaking choices made to protect her bloodline.
