synopsis

Manila at night is an experimental landscape in which the contradictory elements characteristic of living in a big city collide. The physical meets the technological, the human meets the industrial. Fast sex, fragmented lives, anonymous portraits without faces and genitals are scattered in a poetic chaos of colorful neon, fireworks, and advertisements for an ideal world.
