A Beautiful Film that makes you think

I saw the film at Another Hole in the Head Festival and was quite impressed. This film depicts the true culture of Filipino people. The director of the film was present at the screening and it was very interesting to understand the history of making of this film. For such a modest budget the director did a great job and the people who were involved in making this film put their hearts into it. It took them four years to make this film which is a great accomplishment. The characters are very strong and the story is told in a fashion that it makes you feel wanting to know more and keep the suspense while you are glued to your seat. The visual effects in this film are superb.
