He is sent abroad to carry out attacks. He does not return home. Manila remains motionless. A video recording surfaces. A stranger speaks to the camera and a familiar voice responds. Composed mostly of archive footage of close friends, Filipino musicians and performance artists, here is a surreal look at Manila and at how artists can subvert a culture through the simple act of creating works that empower and transform. A film that exposes suffering, infidelity and cinema as a benign form of terrorism against strangers and lovers. Prices General - 5€ Reduced mobility - 5€
