Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Alimuom (in English, "Vapours"—specifically, the smell of freshly-rained vegetation) is a 2018 Filipino sci-fi indie film from director Keith Sicat, loosely based on a webcomic series also by Sicat titled “Outerspace Filipino Workers”, itself a play on the “Overseas Filipino Worker” trope.In The Future, Earth’s been exhausted of much of its natural resources, pollution has driven the remaining population into vast biodomes, and easy space travel has resulted in a boom of offworld industrial, commercial, and residential ventures on other worlds, largely built and serviced by Outerspace Filipino Workers, who in the tradition of their Earth-based ancestors travel to distant worlds to make what living they can, not seeing their families and loved ones for years on end. Back on Earth, the available arable land has become so reduced or poisoned that its governments have outlawed any kind of actual, organic farming, and yet some people are desperate and literally hungry enough that they’ll break the law if that’s what it takes …Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Starring Ina Feleo as Professor Diwata Encarnacion, whose family's work centres on cataloguing and preserving botanical diversity, particularly with regards to agricultural security.The film was a major entry in the 2018 TOFARM Film Festival, an indie festival that promotes awareness of, and concern for, Philippine agricultural and environmental protection.

The Big Board: Some of the biggest holographic computer displays have replaced actual whiteboards, like the one Diwata lectures with at the University of the Philippines–Los Baños campus. Holographic Terminal (but voice-activated)

20 Minutes into the Future: It's never specified exactly how far this is into the future though, perhaps in part to maintain Plausible Deniability in the pace of technological development.
