About Reimagined Volume II: Mahal:

Inspired by Philippine mythology, the story focuses on Apolaki, Mayari, Tala, and Hanan, the four immortal children of the recently passed creator god, Bathala. As each of these deities wrestles with the grief of losing Bathala, their all-powerful actions create ripples throughout the universe. Dedicated to Director Michaela Ternasky-Holland's late father, MAHAL is a story of how love comes at a cost.
