It is undeniable that grief is universal and inevitable. However, despite its universality, it is dealt with in different ways by people based on their cognitive development. Its effect on people also varies, but it often influences a person's thoughts and behavior. Given this, the proponents of this study aim to present a different yet relevant way of addressing familial loss through their film. The film aims to teach it viewers that upholding their loved one's legacy is one effective way of dealing with loss. Since some art forms are also not widely recognized in the Philippines, the proponents also intend to promote chalk art and remind its viewers that art is meant to be created and shared to all. They aim to remind the audience that art extend to all social classes--it is not limited to only the elite and educated.
