Event Details

Four friends in 1990s Manila: Paolo, Mimaw, Kachi, and Gilligan, go on a journey of self- discovery together as they play games and wrestle with new dilemmas. A series of earthquakes leading up to Mt. Pinatubo's historic volcanic eruption has been causing blackouts across the country, preventing the kids from playing their usual escape: video games. After roaming the streets and getting beaten up the three boys decide on traditional circumcision as the ultimate answer to their problems while Mimaw pines for Paolo who is in love with a popular girl.

2021. For ages 16 and over. 1h 39min.  In Tagalog and English with English subtitles. 

October is Filipino American History Month - a celebration and recognition of the achievements, contributions, history, culture, and resilience of the Filipino community.
