This short pinoy film told me what he had. Viewers who can and understand the Philippine production with all its mistakes and missteps will certainly be interested in the fact that the farmer after the loss of his beloved wife went completely crazy and the originally antagonistic relationship between the farmer and the activist became dull and secondary. Both the main protagonists cut these roles two years before playing the main characters in Lodi. I do not recommend this short to most viewers, especially critical ones, don't waste your time.


Tento krátký pinoy film mi sdělil, co měl. Pro diváky, co mohou a rozumí filipínské produkci se všemi jejími chybami a přehmaty, jistě zaujme to, že farmář po ztrátě své milované ženy se dočista zbláznil a původne antagonní vztah farmíř versus aktivista vyšumněl a byl podružný. Oba hlavní protagonisté si střihli tyto role dva roky předtím, než si zahráli hlavní postavy ve filmu Lodi, který zde máme přeložen do cz. Tento kraťas nedoporučuji většině diváků, hlavně těm kritickým, neztrácejte čas.

talk about depressing

as there is no description anywhere (that i found) its a short movie - the farmer is a grieving widow that lost his pregnant wife , while shopping in the city for baby things. cause at the same time there was a student protest, where the cops get out their guns and a random bullet "finds" the wife - causing her to die in her husbands arms.

the stabbed and bleeding student the farmer finds and saves at the start of the movie, was one of the students arrested in that protest and guessing the cops that arrested him, took him off to a remote location to finish him off - why (mystery) or not as this isn't unheard of in history.

but finding this out the farmer loses it and then somehow his hate turns to lust? cause when the students comes to seek him out, he tries to get it on with him? and i'm guessing the final act - where the student wears the dead wife's shirt and gives/offers himself to the grieving husband, is an act of sacrifice / saying sorry even though he wasn't at fault, for the cop's using violence's to suppresses the students, but this all ends in the farmers suicide?? - like confused and yet depressed

giving such low rating cause there isn't much in the way of acting or story - and even in one scene a lot could be conveyed - but left confused about what i saw, and how i feel about it. so it is what it is
