In the Philippines, an elderly man named Manuel Pineda is diagnosed with cancer and told he only has a few months to live. Manuel decides that before he dies, he wants to find the woman he loves most, whom he hasn't seen in decades: Corazon. "Blue Moon" follows Manuel's daunting search for Corazon all over the Philippines. He's joined by his emotionally-distant son Rod and recently-separated grandson Kyle.
