The props, what about the props?

Is the sound ready?

Move a little. You're in the shot.

Move back, back.

Hurry!

Where? Where?

This will trip someone.

Good shot!

Good job, Gardo!

Girls, girls, please!

One by one!

One by one, now.

Gardo. Your sandwich.

You play so well.

You're the best on the team!

Thank you.

Gardo, come on!

I'm starving!

I've been waiting for you all day!

Where's your shoot tomorrow?

I don't know yet.

I still don't have my call sheet.

How would I know where to go?

You can check the blackboard for our schedule.

Love, come on!

Alright.

I have to go. Thanks again.

Drink that!

Yeah, I will.

God, Bona!

Do you know what time it is?

A girl like you shouldn't be out this late.

Where were you anyway?

It's very late.

We've all had dinner and all.

You keep doing this.

That's why your father keeps scolding you.

I asked you where you came from.

Where else but another film shoot, Ma?

Pancho!

Where were you just now?

Ummm...

I was watching a game of basketball, Ma.

Basketball?

What basketball?

Basketball with movie stars, Ma.

- Ow! - Shut up!

That's enough!

Get cleaned up before you eat.

Lend us a hand.

Help put on hooks.

Help your sister.

We're delivering these tomorrow.

What's going on here?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Here you go again, Nena.

Always taking your daughter's side.

That's why she's so spoiled.

And you, girl.

You just got home, didn't you?

Huh?

Fancy that! Do you work an office job now?

Is that why you're always home late?

Where were you?

The studio?

Huh?

Why are you always hanging out at the studio?

Are you going into the movies?

No, sir.

Then why?

Don't tell me you're

following that bit player around?

Just because he gave you

his picture and autograph,

doesn't mean you have to follow him like a dog.

You're neglecting the work you have to do here.

You're the second eldest!

Your mother depends on your help!

But no!

Domeng...

You're always out all day!

That's enough, Domeng.

Come and eat.

Your food's getting cold.

I don't know what the fuck to do with you!

If I don't stop myself,

I might do something I'll regret!

Go on.

Get cleaned up and go eat.

Yes, Ma.

Action!

Gardo!

Gardo!

Tell the guard to let me in.

Huh?

Tell him to let me in!

Buddy...

Buddy!

Let the girl with the blue umbrella in.

Come on.

Gardo.

What are you doing here?

Don't you have to be at school?

I cut class.

I knew you had a shoot.

Aren't you part of the scene?

I can't get wet.

Hold this.

I need to talk to the director.

Lito, we need the fishing boats there.

Director?

Let's have it set up.

There, director?

Director?

Lito, a minute, please.

What?

Director, I really need to be in this scene, maybe...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay!

Later, ok?

We're kinda busy here!

Later! Go on!

Really?

Yeeees!

Later, okay?

Lito, thank you!

Bona!

I'll be in the next scene.

Watch me!

Taxi!

Taxi!

Hey! Open the door! Hurry!

Hey Gardo!

You remember Mercy?

Enough!

I said enough!

Gardo...

Gardo!

Help!

Help me, please!

Here!

What do we do with his briefs?

Take them off. They're wet!

Salud!

Take a look!

Oh my!

What?

Look!

No wonder the chicks go crazy!

No wonder he gets beat up!

Hurry! Put a blanket over him.

So we can get out of here.

Hurry! Cover him up!

Let's go get dressed and go home, it's late.

Let's go.

Oh, hey!

Rain's stopped so we're going.

Don't we need to call a doctor?

Don't worry! He just got knocked out.

He's used to this.

It's not the first time he's gotten beat up.

Do you know who would do this?

For sure a woman's involved!

Oh, by the way, how do you know Gardo?

We're just friends.

What's your name?

Bona.

I'm Claring, Bona.

I'm Salud.

Bona, better change your clothes.

They're soaked.

You might get sick.

Gardo's got lots of clothes you can wear.

Alright?

- We'll go ahead. - Thank you.

Hey, Romy, Boy!

Let's go!

Thank you!

It's nothing.

Ma!

Maaaa...

Ma...

Maaaa?

Hey!

What the fuck's the matter with you?

Give way to the lady!

Hey!

Stop making trouble!

You fuckers drink too much, you're rotting your brains!

That's enough!

No manners!

Rude, lazy, good-for-nothings!

Hey hey hey hey! What're you doing?

Get in line like everybody else.

But I only need a little.

I'll be here all day if I line up.

But that's how it needs to be here.

Even those assholes have to line up.

See how they've gotten drunk from waiting.

Jimboy, look after my bucket and don't let anyone cut in line.

Leave it to me!

You're a new face.

Where do you live?

At Gardo's.

Ahh, Gardo...

Are you his sister?

Niece? Ahhh.

You can have my water.

I couldn't do that.

I don't really need much.

Thank you.

You're new here, aren't you?

Yeah.

Where do you live?

Over at Gardo's.

The actor?

Check it out. Loverboy's making a move again.

Are you family?

No.

A fan.

Ah.

My name's Nilo, by the way.

Mine's Bona.

Are you going to flirt all day?

Your bucket's full!

Busted!

You fools are taking the piss again!

Go home!

Dorks!

Don't string her along, man!

Maybe I shouldn't pour it all in.

It might be too heavy for you.

Better yet, let me help you carry this.

No need.

I can do it.

It's not that heavy.

I'll do it.

Thanks.

She's too young for you!

Nilo!

Here you go again!

Stop falling in love with every new face.

Leave her to us boys!

Yeah.

Fuck them!

Fuckers must think I'm afraid of them!

Motherfuckers...

This is going to take three or four days to heal.

Hopefully I don't have a shoot.

What took you so long?

Was the line that long?

They wouldn't let me cut the line.

Who's they?

I don't know who they were.

But someone gave me a hand.

I think his name was Nilo.

Ah, it was Nilo?

Yeah.

He's a really nice guy.

He's a dishwasher at this Chinese restaurant no one goes to.

Is this water?

Water for what?

For taking a bath.

You're like a baby.

Don't ask me why.

Cold water makes me sneeze.

Really? Why?

I was a bit sickly

when I was little.

That's why my Ma always heated my bathwater.

I just grew into it.

Didn't know you had asthma.

Huh?

What'd you say?

Didn't know you had asthma.

Fool!

I don't have asthma!

I just sneeze.

My nose itches.

And I don't feel too well.

That's it, okay?

Where's your mother?

Ma's gone.

She died when I was 19.

And your father?

He died even earlier!

I was just a kid.

He was an asshole anyway.

It was my Ma who sweated blood

to raise me and put me through school.

I finished high school thanks to her.

Your mother was a hard worker.

Tough, too!

She could have been queen of the gangsters if she wanted.

What?

You don't believe me?

My mother, as long as she's in the right,

she'd fight you to the death!

That's why all the men here didn't dare cross her.

You're saying your Ma was a tough guy?

Pretty much.

That's why I try to be one, too.

So I can make this my turf, too.

I should take a bath. Got somewhere to be.

I can heat your water. How do you want it?

Fill this up with water. Up to here.

Then take that and pour it here.

Temperature's perfect already.

I'll just get my things.

Alright.

So good.

Who were those men last night?

Bunch of losers! Don't mind 'em.

They said you affronted someone.

Is it my fault if his sister fell in love with me?

Now they come after me!

That tickles.

If Ma were alive,

she wouldn't stop until those assholes were behind bars!

Ma had connections.

Ouch.

You and Ma are so alike.

She liked giving me baths, too.

You touch me the exact same way she did.

I do?

You do!

So good.

That tickles!

You're tickling me!

Stop tickling me, I told you I'm ticklish.

Where did you spend the night?

Tell me the truth, you slut!

Ma!

Or you're dead!

Ma!

Domeng! Enough!

Domeng!

That's enough!

Do you want to kill your daughter?

Domeng! I said enough!

Hey! Domeng! Stop!

Enough!

Stop it!

Where did you go?

Let me go!

To the shoot?

Enough, please!

You really have no shame!

You let him fuck you, didn't you?

You fucked him, didn't you?

You bring shame to the family!

You shameless slut!

Shameless!

I'm going to kill you, you whore!

Get out of my way!

Can't get through that thick skull of yours!

This will teach you!

Stubborn!

Useless!

Can't even help your mother here!

Always at some fucking shooting!

We need you here but you're out all day!

Stop!

Gardo...

Come inside.

Ma...

I was with Jimmy and the boys,

had a little drink.

My head hurts.

We had fun.

Oops.

We didn't go very far...

...because...

Come with me in here.

Jimmy asked me

to play basketball...

This way.

Here.

We were with Nes,

Nonoy...

Lie down.

Gardo.

I'll move in with you, okay?

My father beat me with his belt.

Look.

It's still swollen.

I'll stay here, alright?

I'll just serve you.

Jimmy and the others are waiting for me outside...

Don't want to flake...

Let me go out, please...

don't embarrass me in front of them.

Ma!

Please...

Give me a break.

It's embarrassing.

Over here! Hurry!

Lito!

Coming, director!

Lito, what did we use before?

It was a 4.

Put blood effects here.

Two.

One here and here...

Who else was shot?

Put another here.

Lito! Here!

Everyone!

If you get shot...

Was anyone else shot?

When the goons attack from there,

you retreat that way and they go after you.

- Got it? - Got it!

Bring the camera here!

Stay there.

Steady!

Where's the blood?

Hey, Lito!

Put his blood on! Hurry!

Move it!

I'm losing sun, Lito!

We're doing it!

I need two here.

Wait.

Come here.

Those guns there...

What kind of guns did we use?

Get another reflector, put it here.

Over there.

Rene's right, man.

You already knew the director put Rene there,

they should've looked for someone who wouldn't block him.

That's right, dude.

Same thing happened in this other movie we made.

Why whine over such a small thing?

- He's getting old. - Old as this conversation.

Where you off to?

Going to have a little "chat" with this one.

Go ahead, man. We'll be right behind you.

Do a good job.

Wait, what about us?

If you had not gone into the water,

you wouldn't be wet, idiots!

Rolling!

Action!

Fuck!

You!

Bitch!

You pushed me!

Fucking bitch!

Fuck you!

Hey! Claring!

Loitering this early!

The fuck are you doing there anyway?

Just asking something.

Take the kid!

Gimme.

Go home!

So, this is where you've been all this time!

We've been going crazy looking for you!

Pa, can we go up first?

Alright.

And you're fetching water?

Back home, you live like a lazy-ass queen!

But here you are, making a slave of yourself.

Good thing someone knew where you lived and came to the house.

Who?

Said his name was Nilo.

That dork Nilo.

That's why he kept asking for my address.

Hey, hey!

You should be thankful there's someone looking after you.

Where's the man you shacked up with?

Umm...

I asked you, where is he?

Fuck! Keep it down!

I'm trying to fucking sleep!

Pa!

Hey! Asshole!

Wake up!

Marry my daughter!

Marry her!

What?

Marry her?

Who are you?

Who's this, Bona?

I'm the father of the girl you eloped with!

And I will not allow you to live together without getting married!

You're crazy, old man!

I didn't elope with your daughter!

She forced me to let her live here!

What the fuck is this?

You're making me a problem when I'm not!

Go, take her home!

Marriage, my ass!

Crazy old man!

Barging in while I'm trying to get some sleep!

See?

Get the fuck out!

Told you! Come here!

- Pa! - Come with me!

I don't want to go!

Come with me or you'll get it!

I don't want to go, Pa!

Pa, no!

Come here...

Bona!

Bona!

Come here!

You should be ashamed of yourself!

Shacking up with a lowly bit player!

Some bottom-feeding lowlife!

Huh?

Come here, come here...

Dammit, stop resisting

Pa, no!

Come back here!

You'll pay for this!

Bona!

I'm whipping you hard for this!

Come back here!

Bona!

Bona!

Come back here!

Come back or I'll hurt you!

Come back!

Bona...

My clothes!

I just washed these!

- I don't want to, Pa! - What's happening here?

What's happening?

- Pa, no! - My glasses!

I don't want to, Pa!

- I don't want to go home, Pa! - Dammit! My glasses!

Fuck, Bona!

Can't find my glasses!

I don't want to, Pa!

No!

I don't...

Pa?

Pa...

What's wrong with him?

Help me, please...

Help me, please!

Help!

Don't worry about your husband, ma'am.

He's a lot better than he was this morning.

Just make sure to watch over him.

Thank you.

Think nothing of it.

Be thankful your brother's not here.

If he was, he'll probably kill you.

I don't know anymore.

You're leaving that man!

Tonight,

you'll sleep at home.

No, Ma.

What?

Your father almost died looking for you.

Have you lost your mind for good, Bona?

What's going on in that head of yours?

My god.

You're coming home with us!

No, Ma, I won't.

I'll have the cops pick you up if you don't come home, you fuck!

Forgive me.

Don't piss me off!

I'm warning you!

Bona!

Come back here!

I said come back!

Bona...

How's your fath—

Nilo! Stay out of my life!

I just wanted to help...

My father almost died because of your "help"!

Bona!

Just get out of my life!

It's none of your business if I throw my life away!

Bona!

The fuck, you fucking drunks!

We're trying to have a Block Rosary here,

and we can't hear ourselves

over the fucking noise you fucks are making!

Where's your sense of fun, Miss?

We're just having a little fun here.

If you don't stop that,

I'm calling the neighborhood watch!

Go home!

Stop that!

Good for nothing drunks!

Stop making a fool of yourself!

Kiss!

I'm gonna pour this on you if you don't stop.

You just try!

Fuck you!

I visited your father today.

Your mother said,

you're welcome to come home any time.

But...

you must promise never to go back to Gardo.

How's Pa?

He's safe from harm.

But the hospital will only discharge him if he's 100% better.

That's what your brother said.

Is my brother going back to Cebu?

He has to.

I didn't know he was the branch manager there.

Bona, why?

Why what?

Why do this to yourself?

Become a slave.

Always tired.

Always hungry.

I want to.

And I'm not a slave.

I don't get tired.

How can I go hungry?

I've got lots of people to ask for food from.

I make some money on the side, too.

Bona...

Don't take this the wrong way.

But...

I've been wanting...

to get married for a long time now.

I've been wanting to ask...

Oh, Nilo.

We're buddies.

You've got lots of girls falling for you. You just ignore them.

There's Letty, there's Fely...

I don't like them.

Anyway. Enough of this nonsense.

Let me help you.

No need!

Come out, all you tough guys!

I'm daring you!

Come out!

Motherfuckers!

Out!

Go to sleep, you're drunk!

Who's drunk?

You are!

Want me to smack you?

You're only tough if you're fighting a woman!

Tell Enteng to come out, then!

I'll beat the shit out of your husband in front of you.

Go on!

If you've got nothing better to do, go to sleep!

Nothing better to do, my ass.

Tell Enteng to come out!

You want a piece of me?

Enteng!

Come at me!

Enteng!

I'm daring all of you to come out!

You!

Go inside if you don't want to get hurt!

Gardo!

Keep it down, Gardo!

None of your business what we do!

If you don't want to sleep, Gardo,

let the people who want to sleep sleep.

Why should I?

Are you "people"?

You should talk, you arrogant fuck!

You're just an extra!

Who're you calling an extra?

You!

You better watch what you're saying!

I'm getting my break anytime now!

I'll be a superstar, dumbass!

Superstar?

Gardo, wake up!

You're too old!

You've missed your chance!

You'll be an extra for life!

Motherfuck...!

Open the door!

Open up! You don't want to?

Bona!

Bona, look!

We have a new door!

They don't have a door but now we have two, Bona!

Bona! You take care of our new door!

Mister Enteng!

Come get your door!

Enteng. Our door.

Come get it, sir.

Go get it, hurry!

Enteng, try protecting your family for once.

The door, please.

Cut him some slack, sir, he's drunk.

What else can I do?

If only he wasn't bigger than me,

I'd have beaten that asshole up a long time ago.

Don't bite me.

This is no fun without music.

Music?

Music! So I can feel it.

Bona! Come here.

Get the cassette player.

The cassette!

Where's the music?

There!

Ma'am Claring, what's playing?

It's really good.

It's in English.

In color, too.

I've been looking for you all over!

Take the kid.

Come home!

Wait! It's almost done!

It's almost done and you haven't made lunch!

Then you cook.

I'm taking care of the kid.

Cook what? We don't have rice!

Come on!

Then go buy some!

Bona! Play a round.

- Hey, Bona. - What are you playing?

Coin toss. Come on!

I don't have money.

I can lend you some.

I don't even have enough for food.

I can't pay you back.

Is that for Gardo again?

I told you to shoo those flies away!

Miss Idang, what's for lunch?

I have chicken stew and fried fish.

Give me two pieces of fish and some broth.

Just two, please.

There's only Gardo and me.

How's your kid?

Getting better.

No more asthma attacks.

Good thing you took me to that clinic, and I met that lady doctor.

I told you to make the kid drink dog blood.

Didn't I?

Dog blood? The fuck?

Boiled lizard is what's best for that!

Here you go again.

Boiled lizard for a little kid?

Yes! For asthma!

- How much? - Five pesos.

Uhhh...

I only have two pesos.

- I'll pay the rest later. - Sure, sure!

Just give me two.

You're helping my kid at school anyway.

She's having a little trouble with math.

Teach her again when you're free, please?

Thank you!

Where do you pee here?

Down there.

Here?

It's so muddy and there's no cover!

Everybody can see me pee!

Tough luck.

You should've hooked up with someone rich.

Rude bitch!

I'm asking you nicely and you're being snarky!

Never mind. I just won't pee.

- You have a dipper here? - It's somewhere there.

Don't use that, that's Gardo's!

What will I use?

- Arrogant bitch! - The fuck are you being so snooty for?

There! Use that!

Ooh perfect timing!

I'm starving.

Where'd you buy this?

I didn't buy it.

They gave it to me.

Oh wow. They give away food here.

All you need's a little goodwill around here

and you won't go hungry.

Wow. Broth!

Ummm. Delicious!

Don't touch that!

The fuck?

I'm saving that for Gardo! Not for you!

What am I supposed to eat?

Eat that!

I'm running out of patience with you!

Stop acting like you're someone else!

You're just a maid!

I'm not a maid!

You're not? You own this place?

I've had it up to here with you!

I'll smack you if you don't stop!

Just try!

Who the fuck do you think you are?

- You want to fight? - You fuck!

Owww!

You bitch!

Gardo!

Slut!

Help me!

You bitch!

Gardo! Help me with this witch!

That hurt, bitch!

Gardo! Help!

Out of here, you fuck!

Gardo! Help! Gardo!

You'll pay for this, you bitch!

I'll have you arrested!

Help me!

Witch!

I'm calling the cops!

You motherfucking whore!

Never come back here!

Slut!

I'll kill you, you fuck!

Fucking whore!

Bona!

Fuck.

Bona, what happened?

Did she beat you up?

Did she say something?

Nothing.

They were making so much noise last night.

What's all the ruckus about?

Trying to get some sleep and you're making so much noise.

It's nothing.

Nothing, my ass!

I saw you hitting her with that broom!

I'm talking to you!

What happened?

She started it.

She slapped me first.

She wouldn't slap you for no reason!

I'm asking you why you were fighting!

Why?

Fuck! Don't walk away from me!

What the fuck happened?

You're the only one I'm willing to serve, Gardo.

Nobody else!

And I don't want you bringing them to my house!

Listen up!

Don't ever raise your voice at me!

Are you out of your mind?

Who the fuck told you that this is your house?

You're just a squatter here!

Remember that!

And it's none of your business

which women and how many women I bring home!

Clear?

Yes, Gardo...

Or maybe I should throw you out?

- No, please, no! - You want that?

No, please, I promise I won't do it again.

Damn right you'll never do it again!

There, there, that's enough.

Don't cry, come on.

You're not mad anymore?

It's just way too early in the morning for this.

You're not mad at me?

Not anymore.

So, umm...

You want to come to my shoot?

Then prepare my clothes.

I still need to take a bath and get dressed.

I told you to stop crying.

Dude, can I have a light?

You off somewhere, Gardo?

Looks like rain, dude.

No choice, I have a shoot.

At least you have a job, not like...

Dude, maybe we can be extras in your movie.

Sure, man. Don't worry.

Soon as my producer or director needs extras, you'll be the first to know.

We're counting on that, man.

Sure, man!

Thanks!

Bona, where you off to?

Shooting!

Gardo, wait up!

Another shoot!

I heard.

Bona?

Bona!

Wake up, please.

What?

Give me a massage. I can't sleep.

Please.

Just for a bit, please.

Are my clothes for today ready?

Yes, they are.

My green corduroy?

They need it for continuity.

It's ready. I've put it in the bag.

Did you polish my white boots?

All done.

Oh, bread. That's better!

Nice. I need to watch my weight.

Fried rice bloats my tummy.

Make me coffee.

Oh, we've got sausages today.

Classy.

I made a little more than usual yesterday.

"MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark..."

"all the sweet, green icing and ice cream..."

"flowing down..."

"someone left the cake out in the rain..."

"I don't think that I can take it..."

"'cause it took so long to bake it..."

"and I'll never have that recipe..."

"...again!"

"Oh no..."

"Oh no..."

Enteng.

Enteng!

What?

Enteng, hold the kid for a bit.

Just a minute, friends,

my boss is calling.

Hurry! Leave the drink!

Wait up. I'll be back!

What is it?

Give me.

Bona! Isn't it a little late for sewing?

I couldn't sleep.

How many days has Gardo been away now?

Three days.

Why don't you go to the studio,

ask them where the shoot is,

so you don't have to wait blind.

Yes, ma'am. I plan to.

Get some sleep, alright?

Excuse me, sir, can I ask you something?

Where's Gardo?

Gardo who?

Gardo Villa.

Gardo Villa?

Yes, sir.

I don't know.

Does he have a shoot today?

I don't know that, either.

Have you asked outside?

We're dubbing here.

What's the hold-up? I said I'm ready!

We're ready, too. Hold on.

Take!

Okay. Quiet!

Can I ask you something?

What is it?

What are you shooting?

What are we shooting again?

Uhhh... Alamid.

Alamid!

Would you know if Gardo has a shoot?

Gardo Villa.

Why?

I'm, uhhhh... looking for him.

Oh, we don't know him.

Maybe ask the guard. Over there.

Bona?

What are you doing here?

Just getting some air.

Getting air, right.

I know you're waiting for Gardo.

He hasn't come home in three days, right?

I want to soak this place up as much as I can.

I feel as if I won't be seeing it again.

What makes you say that?

I had a dream.

This whole place was on fire.

Everyone was running to get out.

The flames embraced me like a blanket.

I ran outside.

But...

I was only met by more flames.

It's only a dream.

It's probably the heat.

You're something else, Bona.

Even in your dreams,

you can't let Gardo go.

By the way,

you're invited.

Invited where?

My wedding!

To whom?

To Pacing, the girl who sells fried bananas.

Pacing and I are close!

I still owe her one peso.

Forget about that.

At last I can slaughter my pig for the reception.

One pig won't be enough!

For sure, everyone here's going to come.

That's fine.

Pacing's folks have lots of goats and chickens in the province.

You have to be there!

See you.

Bona?

Bona?

Bona!

Open the door.

It's me, Gardo.

Bona!

Bona, it's me, Gardo. Open the door.

Gardo!

Where were you?

You've been gone for a while.

Uhhhh, can you... turn on the light?

Wait.

Uhhhh...

This is Annie.

That's Bona.

Do we have food?

Can you heat it up?

We haven't eaten, we're starving.

Come on.

Let's go.

Let's eat.

You're going to cry again?

Stop that!

What'll we do?

If my father finds out, he'll kill me.

I already told you I'll figure it out!

My mother's coming on Monday.

She thinks I'm studying at my classmate's.

That's why I'll fix it tomorrow! Stop whining!

How?

I'll borrow money!

From whom?

Let me worry about that!

Bona...

You know where I could scrounge up 300, 400 pesos?

I just need it for tomorrow.

Why? What for?

For this.

I'll take her to the doctor.

What's wrong with her?

Fool.

She's not sick. I knocked her up.

You know what I mean.

Will you shut up and let's eat!

Quiet down. I already told you I'll fix all that tomorrow.

You rest for a week, child, alright?

Don't lift heavy things.

Don't wear shoes that are too high.

Don't take baths with cold water.

Heat your bathwater.

Will do, ma'am. Thank you.

You're welcome.

How much, Auntie?

150 pesos, same as before.

Bona?

Can you cover it first?

I've had enough!

You think...

You're all pests!

I never did anything good...

Fuck!

No more...

No more.

I've had it.

I'm done.

I'm done.

Gardo.

No more...

Gardo.

No more!

Give me that.

- Give it to me. That's enough. - No!

- I've... I've had it... NO! - Give it to me!

I'm done.

What is it this time?

That's over now.

I didn't want that to happen, Bona.

I never did.

This life is nothing but fuck-ups!

Nothing but bad luck!

Even as a kid, Ma made me join singing contests.

Always a loser.

Then it was dancing contests.

Nobody noticed.

Now I'm an extra!

But sometimes, I don't get paid.

Sometimes I'm in big movies.

Most of the time, I'm not.

This life's nothing but shit luck!

Gardo...

Gardo.

That's taken care of.

I never wanted that to happen, Bona.

It's over.

Just that...

It's over.

That's enough.

I'm done. Fuck!

Fuck you, Ma!

I give up, Bona.

I'm done.

There!

Ready! Ready!

One more! One more!

Alright!

Time to eat!

Be careful with that knife!

Watch your hands!

Come closer! Closer!

Can I have some of the skin?

Close up! Close up! There!

- Smile, Nilo! - Give me some of that crunchy skin...

I'll turn the light on,

then we count one, two, three...

happy birthday, happy birthday...

Shhhhhh.

Hurry!

Happy birthday, Bona!

You didn't think I'd remember, did you?

I even got you a present!

Go on, open it.

That's nice.

Katrina picked it.

Oh, by the way, Bona, Katrina.

Happy birthday!

And many, many more!

Go on, open it!

You'll like that! She chose it.

Here's another one.

These shoes go with that.

Go on!

Open it!

Better yet, get dressed!

Let's celebrate!

It's your birthday!

Go on, get dressed!

Come on!

But where will we go?

Bona, come on...

Thanks, I'm good here.

Come on, let's dance.

No, thanks.

It's your birthday!

Come on!

Come on. Leave your stuff.

Come on, leave it...

Bona?

Bona?

Bona!

Bona?

Bona?

Wait a second.

Oh, Nilo.

Sorry, I feel asleep.

What's up?

Good you're here.

We've been waiting for you since last night.

Your mother came by last night.

You weren't here.

She asked me to tell you to go home.

But she said not to show yourself to your brother.

You can't possibly face his anger.

She was very insistent on that.

If you do go home, make sure your brother doesn't see you.

Why should I go home?

Because...

Your father died last night.

Letter B!

Letter O!

Jinggoy's age...

75!

Letter I!

My age...

16!

No 6 yet! No 6 yet.

I thought there was.

Letter N!

Double 4!

Oh shoot!

Heat some water. We need more coffee.

Yes, ma'am.

Hot water, please.

Letter B!

Sister!

What took you so long?

Where were you?

Big brother's already here.

Stay here.

I'll call Mother.

Bona!

Ma!

Bona, my child!

Forgive me, Pa.

I'm so sorry.

So so sorry.

What the fuck are you doing here?

Stop it! Stop it!

Ma!

Leave this place!

Stop it!

Fuck! Fuck!

That's enough! Enough!

Leave!

Leave!

Leave!

Enough, please! Enough!

You killed father!

Ma!

You motherfucking cunt!

Get out!

I'll fucking kill you if you don't, you fuck!

I'm sorry...

You have no father!

Get out of here!

I swear I'll kill you!

You have no father!

Who are these ugly bitches?

Take them down!

Another one! Ugh!

Cheap slut!

From here on, all these go down!

Where is Gardo, by the way?

I don't know.

We had a fight last night.

He got pissed and left.

Big dork like him can't take a bath in cold water.

Doesn't like hot showers either!

Says he can't get the right temperature.

He prefers the water that comes from a pot and smells like smoke.

Such a petty thing to fight about. What a child!

I'm waiting for him to come back, too.

I'll get him used to cold water slowly.

If I didn't love that asshole

I wouldn't stand for any of this.

Where's your mother, by the way?

Mother? Why?

Gardo told me your father was dead,

but you have different mothers.

And when Gardo starts living with me,

I suppose you go back to your mother.

We have different parents.

You're not siblings?

We are not.

This asshole told me you had the same father!

Whoa!

Are you one of these ugly bitches?

Oh, Bona... about time you start thinking of yourself.

There's nothing for you here.

You should go home to your family.

Starting tomorrow, Gardo will stay with me.

Oh, and by the way, can you start packing his stuff?

I'll have my driver pick it up tomorrow.

And when he gets here, tell him I'm waiting for him at home.

Okay?

Got to go. Bye.

Bona?

Bona!

Bona?

What are you doing sitting in the dark like that?

What's going on with you?

Why? What happened?

What?

I asked you what happened?

What happened?

What?

Kat...

Katri...

Katrina came here.

She said...

She said...

I thought...

I thought...

What drama is this?

Go on, heat my bathwater.

I'm taking a bath.

Go on!

By the way,

I'm quitting the movies.

I'm going to forget all my movie star dreams.

Why?

Nothing's going to happen anyway.

I've been doing this for seven years, and nothing's happened.

I've tried everything.

Drama.

Action.

Even Bomba films.

I even tried singing.

Now I'm doing stunts!

And still no luck.

I love acting but acting doesn't love me.

What will you do instead?

I'm going abroad.

Abroad?

How?

With Katrina.

We're migrating.

Before the money her dead husband left her runs out.

She's actually asking me to marry her.

She's madly in love with me.

She'll do.

Marriage?

What about me?

Then you...

You go back home.

Back to your folks.

I'm selling this house when I leave.

Leave.

Go back.

I can't go back home.

What can I do?

You plan on staying here forever?

Dad just died.

I went there last night.

My brother almost killed me.

He blames me for Dad's death.

He threw me out.

He said he'd kill me if...

if I go back.

Gardo, I can't go back home!

What do you want me to do, Bona?

You forced your way into my house.

Where will I go?

I don't know.

Gardo, I can't go home!

Not my problem, Bona!

You want to fight about this?

You heard what I said!

I'm leaving! I'm selling this house!

You go home.

Go on, fetch my bathwater.

I'm going out.

Go on!

Bona, my water.

Don't just stand there, go on!

Bona!

Bona, what's taking you so long?

I said I was going out.
