“Marie Jamora and co-writer Ramon De Veyra has carefully conjured a coming-of-age tale that withdraws from the traditions of the genre. …WHAT ISN’T THERE maps the redemption of lost years spent making sense of a childhood trauma that resulted in the most enduring of heartaches.” [Twitch Film, 2012]
