Guys, mark your calendars! Here’s an alternative Valentine’s Day date movie. On 13-14 February,
Daybreak will be shown at the Cine Adarna of the UP Film Institute. It stars
Coco Martin and Paolo Rivero, from the script of Charliebebs Gohetia and the direction of Adolfo Alix Jr. I’m pretty sure this will be a good one, for lovers out there who are in for a good cry.
Synopsis: DAYBREAK happens entirely in one place: a rest house in Taal, Batangas and only with two characters. In a single narrative time, intending by way of voyeurism, we discover what happens to two men spending one night contemplating whether to break up or continue their relationship. William and JP allow us to know their biggest lies and the biggest truths… two people loving each other, clinging to each other, betraying each other — trying the fragility of their feelings in only one night. Memories and dreams, truths and lies, fears and desires, betrayal and honesty, love and hate are all closely entwined in this night. Behind the veil of words, they are drawn to each other but will the light of the sunrise bring this intimacy to an end?
Daybreak will also be shown at Robinsons Galleria IndieSine from 20-26 February, 27 February – 4 March at Robinsons Manila [Ermita], and 5-11 March at Robinsons Bacolod.
