What if happiness isn't something we find in adulthood-but something we remember from childhood?
Origin tells the story of Zorogigi Zoranza, a girl growing up in the wind-shaped island of Catanduanes, Philippines. In a yard alive with animals, storms, and imagination, she builds fortresses that shape her emotional intelligence, creativity, and future purpose.
Narrated by her daughter, Zoei, as she returns to the island to accept her mother's Lifetime Legacy Award, the story reveals how Zorogigi's childhood wonder became a lifelong mission to help children reclaim their imagination.
A lyrical, magical-realism tale about family, resilience, and the places that shape us, Origin reminds us that happiness is going back to where it all began.
