- Living in a remote corner of the Philippine islands, Agustin is an Indigenous man who loves to sing, but never had the opportunity to learn to read or write. When his boss repeatedly cheats him out of his wages, 40-year old Agustin decides to enroll in grade 1. Over the next six years, Agustin becomes increasingly torn between two realities - the children's world in school, and the increasingly harsh reality of the world outside. As the needs of his family mount, and as food and money become increasingly scarce, Agustin must decide whether to continue his own quest for self-improvement or pass the opportunity on to his son. Filmed and told in an immersive style, the film invites the audience to hope and dream with Agustin, and to understand the harsh reality that makes his optimism and the optimism of many Indigenous peoples ultimately so fragile.
- Inspired by true stories of taxicab drivers of metropolitan Manila, BOUNDARY, a feature narrative film is set in the urban roadways of Manila during Christmas. A guilt-ridden and disheveled taxi driver named LIMUEL ALCANTARA picks up a mild-mannered businessman named EMMANUEL LAZARO as his last passenger for the night. Limuel's conspiracy to bring Emmanuel to the hideout of robbery gang leader DIEGO GAWARAN takes a wrong turn. Their journey together from Manila to the foothills of Antipolo becomes a tension-filled and claustrophobic experience. The only way out of this seemingly eternal ride is to face their damnation.
