"Kumbento" revolves around nuns in a haunted convent during World War II.
In 1974, uncircumcised boys are killed by a monster at night by the river under mysterious circumstances. A mother (Aiko Melendez) is anxious about getting her teenaged son (Joaquin Domagoso) circumcised through a traditional ritual conducted in a riverbank which could save him from death.
A returning Overseas Filipino Worker (Kim Chiu) from Japan returns to the Philippines amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, bringing home with her a memento. She stays in a hotel in Baguio due to mandatory quarantine protocols. There, she meets an old man who warns her about the facility she and other returning migrant workers are staying. A few days into the quarantine, some of them test positive for COVID-19 and undergo isolation.
