meets a poignant coming-of-age tale. ★
What if your worst nightmare became the adventure of a lifetime?
Annee thought her worst dreams were the ones that left her waking in tears-until the day she opens her eyes and finds herself in 1977 Manila.
Her only way back? Playing a vinyl record on her aunt's old turntable. The catch? The record hasn't even been released yet. Stranded in a world without mobile phones or Google Maps-and under the watchful eye of Martial Law-Annee's modern sensibilities clash with the quirks of a past she never expected. But as she begins to embrace life in the 1970s, Annee discovers unexpected joys: a slower pace, newfound friendships, and moments of laugh-out-load absurdity. And then there's him-the boy with a heart as warm as the Manila sun. As the time to return home draws near, Annee faces an impossible choice: to return to the future she's always known or stay in a past that's starting to feel like home.
The Manila Sound Machine
is a poignant tale of love and self-discovery, set against the vibrant, nostalgic rhythms of 1970s Manila. With charm, a touch of drama, and a dash of wit, it's a story about finding hope in the most unexpected places-and daring to hold on to it.
