Lore & Background
The film follows Inday, a simple provincial girl who learns on her mother's deathbed that she was adopted. A fallen angel named Goldy, who can transform into a duck, and a tiyanak (a mythical creature) befriend her. Goldy decides Inday can inherit his powers if she meets his conditions. They travel to Manila, where Inday works as a maid for a wealthy family. The wife, Ingrid, secretly sacrifices children to demons to maintain her youth and immortality. Goldy and the tiyanak help Inday by giving her golden eggs containing fragments of Goldy's power. Inday repels demonic attacks but is framed and fired. She later finds her biological mother and father, and with the help of Amazing Jay (Jake Cuenca) and Copycat (Pokwang), defeats Ingrid and her demonic minions. Goldy and the tiyanak ascend to heaven, while a new monster appears.
