The Best Day In My Life

Teng, a 40-year-old Filipino fisherman who has been fishing for about 32 years, occasionally gets bored with his monotonous life. He has never left his town, and for 32 years, he has woken up at the same time and gone to the same river to try to catch fish. Some days, he catches a lot of fish, while on others, he catches none. Amidst all this sameness, what keeps Teng tightly bound to life is a story his father told him. When he goes home in the evening and can embrace his children, every day becomes the best day of his life. And it’s precisely at this point that his father’s story begins. There was a man who defied all the mundane arguments and went home in the evening to hug his children, and that became the best day of his life.
