"Fetch a Pail of Water is a small movie. It is small in the sense that the universe of the poor is limited to their dreams They may aspire to escape from the stench and deprivation that make up their daily, but the real possibilities their liberation are quite few. Understanding the Filipino poor through the eyes of a filmmaker can be quite a challenge. And this is may hope to share with the world the universe of the suffering of a great number of my countrymen."
-Jeffrey Jeturian, Movie Director Pila Balde
Pila Balde is a story of Gina, who lives in a slum community in a housing tenement, and Nonoy, a watery boy, who delivers water in the area.
