Afterlife(2020)

Afterlife is a dark drama series set in Manila's Chinatown, where a deceased Filipino-Chinese businessman returns as a ghost, bound to Romy, a columbarium caretaker. Peter's family has declared his death a suicide—a claim that troubles him, since he cannot remember how he actually died. With Romy's help, he investigates the truth behind his demise, only to uncover layers of family dysfunction, hidden secrets, greed, and deceit. The series weaves together the complexities of Chinese and Filipino cultures, exploring their socio-political tensions through the lens of two fathers struggling to repair broken relationships. As Peter's story unfolds, both men confront the pride that has isolated them, learning what truly matters when mortality becomes undeniable. Shakespearean in scope, Afterlife examines an unsettled soul's search for answers and redemption.
