Work Overview
High in the mountain, deep in the forest, an ancient tribe has existed as long as time. The tribe worships the ghost-lake spirits. The ghost-lake is hidden beyond the heavy fog and surrounded with the white lilies all year round. No one ever finds the way to it. One day the beautiful young daughter of the tribal leader-Balhenge, came to the lake by mistake. She was found by a spirit and they fall in love. The spirit asked for her hands from the tribal leader after completing the mission that's almost impossible to achieve. Alubaling is the farewell song that people sing to Balhenge when she left with the spirit to the hidden ghost-lake.
