The film, which The Telegraph reports will be shown in cinemas in the UK in September, stars Jake Macapagal and Althea Vega as a couple who move to Metro Manila from the Northern Philippines. Macapagal’s Oscar Ramirez gets a job as an armored car driver for a security agency, where he meets Ong (John Arcilla), his superior.
According to production company RSA Films, “it soon becomes apparent that Ong has been waiting for the arrival of someone just like Oscar for some time.”
The film, which won the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival this year, was shot in Filipino with a Filipino cast and crew.
It will be released in the Philippines on October 9.
