利希斯是两个故事合二为一。第一个故事发生在今天：一个年轻女子调查她失踪的教父的谜团，教父从所有家庭照片中被撕掉。第二部故事发生在1970年代共产主义起义期间：两名年轻的新人民军男性士兵发现自己陷入了一张挫败感的网，因为他们在反对独裁统治的战争中挣扎，但也因为他们彼此相爱。共同点？教父是新人民军士兵之一。

The film splits itself between two timelines. In 2006, Ada is basing her thesis on a massacre that occurred twenty years prior in a village called Acacia. Her mother Cecilia was part of a fact-finding mission into a massacre, and Ada’s inquiries bring up her history as a member of the NPA. The other timeline traces the relationship of Ka Felix and Ka Jimmy, two rebels who fall in love, despite the movement’s laws against such a pairing.
