Paul, a Filipino nurse, hooks up with David, an Israeli soldier. They meet and have sex, sharing intimacies that reveal opposing histories of violence. The encounter, recorded in a Berlin apartment, documents the precarity of seeking safety in a world where brutality is ordinary.

Told through the tales of love of a retiring film projectionist and a late-blooming actress, the short documentary delves into the journey of Manila’s oldest movie theater from grandiosity to obsolescence.

The search for a burial token for her mother forces a woman to dig up a buried past and confront the house she abandoned for 11 years. As she descends, the house speaks to her.

Solitary men in a roomy but empty cinema, omnipresent smartphones, and pop-up sexual intimations coalesce in a raunchy yet incisive portrait of Manila's evolving queer space.
