Award-winning documentary Harana - The Search for the Lost Art of Serenade (2012).
Now streaming for free on YouTube.

Upon his father's death, Florante, a classically trained guitarist returns to the Philippines after 12 years of absence and rediscovers the music of harana - a long-forgotten tradition of Filipino serenading when men sang under the window at night to declare their love for a woman.

Intent on unearthing these unheralded songs, Florante travels to the remote provinces where he discovers three of the last surviving practitioners - a farmer, a fisherman and a tricycle driver.

Word soon spread of these master haranistas whose style of singing touch the hearts everywhere they performed. But the question remains - can harana be restored to its former glory or is it doomed to vanish silently into the night forever?
