Happiness Is Going Back to Origin

What if happiness isn’t something we find in adulthood—but something we remember from childhood?

Origin tells the story of Zorogigi Zoranza, a girl growing up in the wind-shaped island of Catanduanes, Philippines. In a yard alive with animals, storms, and imagination, she builds “fortresses” that shape her emotional intelligence, creativity, and future purpose.

The story reveals how Zorogigi’s childhood wonder became a lifelong mission to help children reclaim their imagination. A lyrical, magical-realism tale about family, resilience, and the places that shape us, Origin reminds us that happiness is going back to where it all began.
