Synopsis of the Film
Inspired by the actual
story of one of the youngest mothers in Philippine history, “Siyam”
follows the story of Krista who at the tender age of 9 got pregnant from
the sexual abuse perpetrated by her own father. Her story is complex.
Krista refuses to see herself as a victim. With an almost documentary
style, “Siyam” follows Krista’s story as she demonstrates a level of
resilience uncommon for her age. Her mother, on the other hand, is torn
between her love for her child and her love for her husband.
