Directed by: Joseph Teoxon

Cast: Carlo Aquino, Annicka Dolonius, Kat Galang, Empress Schuck

Synopsis: Primo, gifted with a good eye for production design, ventures into the working world with a great desire to succeed.

Unprepared for the harsh realities, Primo experiences failure, heartbreak and regret in a series of unfortunate events.

Life doesn’t turn out as he expected: He wastes away, wallowing in grief, jumping from one odd job to another for more than a decade.

While trying to make ends meet at the peak of his misfortunes, he experiences a technological glitch with his old desktop computer and gets a chance to re-write his life.

4. "Changing Partners"

Watch more in iWant or TFC.tv

Directed by: Dan Villegas

Cast: Agot Isidro, Jojit Lorenzo, Sandino Martin, Anna Luna

Synopsis: The love story, shown through the perspective of different genders, paints how a real relationship works. It eschews the narrative for emotions and establishes that love knows no gender when it pains or soothes, when it hurts and heals.

5. "Historiographika Errata"

Watch more in iWant or TFC.tv

Directed by: Richard Somes

Cast: Joem Bascon, Max Eigenmann, Alex Medina, Nathalie Hart, Kean Cipriano

Synopsis: A disillusioned and suicidal Rizal, a cross-dressing Bonifacio gripped with paranoia, an ex-Katipunero who joins the US army to save his own neck, and a widow whose sex-for-food errands lead her to become the first-ever Makapili.

These are the historical mosaics that will form a singular hypothesis as to why we are like this as a people and up to now are still reeling from our damaged culture.
