The movie

In spite of his humble origins, Edgar endeavours to give a better life to his family, but everything changes when his wife becomes embroiled in a fraudulent financial scandal. As threats against his family multiply, Edgar must try to get their life back on track. After a superhero movie (Gagamboy, NIFFF 2005) and a monster flick (Tiktik, NIFFF 2013), Erik Matti is back with a mesmerizing film noir that fiercely criticises the place of religion in the culture of the Philippines.
