Only Child Syndrome got a Trope Transplant to be about "traits of only children"

No longer a trope.


* YourCheatingHeart: Par for the course in a Filipino drama, Diwata suspects her husband Leo of having a ''kabit'', or mistress, on that far-off offworld colony where he's working, which is why he doesn't seem like he's more visibly longing for home. Naturally, she does not take it well.

Misuse.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFutureTwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: It's never specified exactly how far this is into the future though, perhaps in part to maintain PlausibleDeniability in the pace of technological development.

* MsFanservice: Ooh, Diwata. The first directly plot-relevant scene shows her stretched out, in a sheer negligee, mostly bare ass to the camera; later on she wears some (in fairness, pretty mildly) revealing outfits—despite also being married and having a preteen son. One of the movie's subplots, in fact, has her trying to maintain a LongDistanceRelationship with her OFW husband—complete with issues of (cyber)sex life.

Added DiffLines:

* ScienceIsGood: Particularly the natural sciences, like biology or botany, as well as agricultural disciplines in general; as Diwata's family and employers can attest, they're crucial to maintaining food security in a future of overpopulation and pollution severely limiting arable land and crop growth potential.


Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut:
** Diwata's dad listens to Creator/EarthaKitt, saying she's his favourite singer.
** The song "Mr Pogi ('Handsome') in Space", by OPM (Original Pilipino Music) band Radioactive Sago Project, plays in one scene, while Diwa's waiting for Leo to come online.

Added DiffLines:

* FutureCopter: The hovercraft that brings Diwata and the two agents to rebel territory in the PollutedWasteland is not exactly a helicopter, as it resembles and hovers more like a giant insect, resembling a sort of fly, cicada or beetle.

Added DiffLines:

* NoAntagonist: There's no really clear-cut one. The film initially sets one up to think government official Mr Aguirre might be this, and later the rebel farmers as a whole (they are, after all, officially the government's enemies), but in both cases they're made sympathetic and their perspective and reasons for their actions are laid out.
