For those stuck at work and already counting down to the upcoming weekend, here’s a new film trailer that will transport you to one of the Philippines’ best surfing spots — even for just a minute.
On Tuesday, the trailer to Siargao, a film directed by Paul Soriano and starring Jericho Rosales, Erich Gonzales, and Jasmine Curtis, was released on Facebook.
Based on the trailer, the movie looks like a combination of everything Manila weekend warriors love about going out of town: winding road trips, panoramic views of the sea, and meet-cutes with strangers also trying to escape Manila.
Not much of the movie’s story is revealed but it looks like sparks will fly between Rosales’ character Diego, a rock icon who hails from Siargao, and Laura, a vlogger who visits the island to find happiness.
More than the love story though, the film looks to be an ode to the country’s growing surf community and even stars the subculture’s poster boy Luke Landrigan.
