Laya is a young professional photographer who has drifted away from her family. Her father has fallen ill, but she hasn’t once come to visit him at the hospital. Her mother, who left their family when Laya was a child, returns to urge Laya to make amends with her father, but Laya’s pain goes deeper than her mother suspects. Laya is sent to the provinces to document a ritual of a disappearing indigenous tribe, and there, she inadvertently comes face to face with her own demons as she observes the relationships of the last remaining members of this dying culture.

Mangatyanan (English: The Blood Trail) is a 2009 Philippine independent film written (under the pseudonym Ramon Ukit), directed, edited (under Pats R. Ranyo), and scored by Jerrold Tarog. The title refers to a Mangatyanan "blood trail" ritual of the Labwanan tribe, which plays an integral role in the plot. Both ritual and tribe were invented for the film.
Mangatyanan was a finalist in the full-length feature category of the 2009 Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival.
