Latay (Battered Husband) (2020)

Lando, a laid-back fisherman, enjoys joining the yearly “Aguman Sanduk” fellowship cross-dressing festivity with his peers of Alpha males. Meanwhile, his mundane-everyday-life back in his isolated hut surrounded by fishpond waters, is beset with a horrifying secret about him being physically abused by his wife; and sometimes verbally degraded to no remorse whenever they have an argument. Lando’s wife, Lori is due to leave for abroad as a domestic helper. She harbors ill-feelings against Lando whom she caught meeting up with his ex-girlfriend in a rendezvous. Her unusual violent streak becomes acceptably normal to Lando, who easily yields to his carnal guilt. In the last 2 days before she leaves for abroad, Lori and Lando sum up their irreconcilable differences as regrettably inconsolable. At Lori’s send off, Lando brews a best-laid-plan to settle their problem. While rowing a banca ride with Lori in their hometown’s desolate river, all his thoughts are about being with Laura forever despite her resistance. He’s so consumed with this romantic notion that he just stops rowing the boat and sets aside the paddle. He declares upon her disgust that he will either have her unconditionally or lose her to death according to his own violent terms. It doesn’t matter how bizarre his expression of love would mean by ending both their sufferings in vain. (Source: Solar Pictures) Edit Translation
