Synopsis

In this experimental documentary hybrid, footage from the narrator’s mundane everyday experience, fragments of news footage such as the moon landing and professionally shot photographs of landscapes, are juxtaposed against each other to create an honest depiction of humanity. An (imaginary) alien friend is the framing device that serves as the receiver of the documentary’s narrative. A self-reflection of the narrator’s personal life including anecdotes from his friends and family, the film utilises the idea that the most personal is the most universal, capturing Filipino culture at its most distinct and authentic.
