Do you want to hear a different kind of story?

A story about a creature searching for something in life.

But he has no idea what this is.

Wealth? Victory?

Or maybe love?

Or maybe, what he's really searching for is his lost self.

Oh, what a struggle life is.

But at least... you're alive.

You know, you're an asshole.

You kept staring at me while we were right in front of them.

Luckily, I kept a straight face.

Well, you know...

I like teasing you.

It's just weird to think about how they have no idea about...

what's going on between us.

I feel guilty, Gold.

Maybe I should tell them.

It's all because of Al.

Still such a womanizer until now.

We only lasted because I keep letting him off the hook.

We're even now.

So...

Do you think...

that if Al wasn't like that,

if Al wasn't a playboy...

Would this have happened to us?

Probably not.

Because you'd be happy? You wouldn't have needed me.

Not that.

Because he'd always be around.

We wouldn't have time to be together.

Then you would've been the bad guy.

I am bad.

Sometimes I wish he would just disappear.

Hey. Don't say that.

Alright. Maybe I should be the one who disappears.

What about me, Ara?

You know, if I died, I would really miss you.

You're crazy.

We were together the whole day

but it still doesn't feel enough.

Like always.

Ara!

October 9. It's set in stone. Best man.

No more backing out? Come here.

There's still time, bro.

Dumbass. I'm not like you.

Hey. I never back down from anything, dumbass.

Yeah, because you reach towards anything either.

Hey.

That's fine! I know every detail about your life anyway.

Idiot.

You're the idiot!

I know absolutely nothing about your life.

Come on, man. Tell me. Who is it?

Let's just call her... Damian.

Damn you! Sounds like a really old name of some criminal.

Seriously? Damian?

Idiot.

What's wrong with that?

- What's that? - Maybe he stole your heart.

I haven't asked for the bill yet!

- Look at this drunk guy... - Why are you making me leave?

I'll pay for that later.

What do you want? I said I'm not done!

What are you staring at?

Anyway, next week.

We're staying at Randy's cottage in Bulacan for three days.

They said you're the one who's supposed to be planning all this.

But they said they'll take care of it.

Randy and Jing will take care of everything.

I'll be there. Who else is coming?

I don't know. Maybe you should bring Damian.

Damian... Right?

Alright! You want another round?

Asshole. How many last rounds do you need?

That's enough. It's getting late.

So that's how it is.

If you say so.

Just finish your drink.

Obviously.

They say a relationship is like a car. It needs to be well taken care of.

It needs regular check-ups. Ready for challenges.

Your engine cannot fail.

Because if you come across a rocky road,

Or a storm,

Or if you run out of oil or water,

Or even air,

Something will give in.

Your journey will fail.

Okay...

They say a relationship is like a car.

It needs to be well taken care of.

It needs regular check-ups.

Sir Pedring, I've already heard of that before.

So hot.

Okay, fine. You've probably heard it from me too.

Anyway, the total is 4500 pesos, okay?

That's what I haven't heard before. Too expensive.

You're asking for an oil change, but I have to fix other stuff too.

The oil, the oil filter.

Okay, okay.

Sir Pedring, I've been your client for so long.

Maybe you can lower the price a bit.

I have a long trip tomorrow, I might run out of money.

Why? Where are you headed?

That's the thing.

Out of town. A stag party.

A stag party?

Stag. Bachelor's party before someone gets married.

I know that.

What I'm asking is, is that still a thing in your generation?

What, stag parties?

Getting married.

I don't know.

I don't know what got into Karl's head, why he decided to get chained up.

Weng and I? We just live together.

No weddings, no paperwork.

And look at us. Going strong. Our word is our bond.

Like I always say...

I loved you then, I love you still.

I always have, I always will.

Do you think I'm capable of that?

The question is, are you capable of the 4500 pesos?

What?

Four thousand?

- 4200 pesos. - There you go!

50... 4250 pesos, okay?

So?

Alright, fine.

You know Gold, don't forget.

You know, money's not everything.

Money cannot buy you love. But love is everything.

Alright? I'll get started on this.

Will you shut up? This is humiliating.

What's so humiliating?

Everyone can see us.

So what? You're ashamed of me?

- Screw you! - Screw you too!

See, you're even bringing the dog into this.

You should be ashamed!

What about the kids?

What about them?

Just a while ago, you were bringing them into this too.

- Whatever. - Stop nagging, you bitch!

Me? Really, me? You're the one with a problem!

Damn you! You never learn, do you?

- Whatever you say. - Same to you!

- Shut up! - Don't tell me to shut up!

This is embarrassing.

Sir Jason! How are you?

I'm just rushing something inside. Enteng will take care of you.

- Okay, no problem. - Okay? Teng!

Take a look at this. Go.

- Yes, sir. - Later then!

Thank you.

Shut your mouth, okay?

Have you ever attended a stag party?

Of course I'm happy for my friend.

But wow.

Everything feels so scripted. It's crazy.

There's even someone directing everything that's happening.

Walk that way.

Stop.

Time for some picture-taking.

“May we request the immediate family to come in front, please?”

First, a formal one. Then, let's do a wacky one.

You're told where to sit.

And then they do that thing with the doves.

Wine toasting.

Crazy!

That's what they wanted.

Maybe that's... Maybe that's what makes them happy.

To each their own right?

Yeah I get that.

But when I get married, I don't want to go through that.

Shit, if that's the requirement...

Then I'd rather not get married.

Gold, you jerk.

You're no fun to play with.

I've won three times in a row now.

Told you we should've just played basketball.

Why, is there a court here?

Where could he be? Do you guys know?

I spoke to him a while ago.

He told me he was about to enter NLEX.

Bullshit.

He says he's on the way, but he's still taking a shower.

Shit. What if he doesn't show up?

No. We had a deal. He'll show up.

Oh, the girls are here.

- Hi. - Hi!

Get over here.

- Randy. - Hi, I'm Mia.

- You smell good. - Of course! Taste good too.

Jing, ma'am.

Vern. Ma'am? How respectful.

You'll be in trouble with me later.

Hold on. Aren't there supposed to be three of you? Where's the other one?

Oh yeah. Where is our friend?

She said she'll follow.

And! Let me introduce you to the eldest of us.

- Karl. - Hi Karl. I'm Mia.

- Hello. And you are? - Vern.

- Karl. Nice to meet you girls. - You smell good.

Did you just sniff me?

Shit Gold, where are you?

Hey! Watch out. Be careful.

[laughing, chattering]

It's good.

[laughing, chattering]

Shit.

Ugh!

Shit!

Whew!

So unlucky.

Damn it.

Shit.

Damn you, Mang Pedring!

Well, screw you too!

I told you it was 4500 pesos.

No signal! Damn it.

No luck.

Damn Mang Pedring.

Hey.

Let's never get married.

Hey, I'm serious.

Let's never get married, okay?

Who would want to get married to you?

The sun is up.

We're still not done.

Hello Randy?

Gold?

Where are you?

Bro, your place is so far!

I got lost.

And now my car broke down.

I told you, you should've come with me!

Hello?

Hello Randy?

Hello?

- Gold? Your signal's choppy. Hello? - Damn it.

Gold?

Hello?

Hello? You're breaking up, bro.

Shit.

It's so cold!

[laughing, chattering]

Get in here.

There she is!

It suddenly got warmer.

Group hug! Group hug!

[laughing, chattering]

Hey.

Why aren't you swimming?

I don't want to. It's too cold.

Why?

Will it shrink?

Hello?

Hello?

Anyone home?

Anyone home?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Anyone home?

Anyone home?

Hello?

Hello?

Hey!

Kare-Kare! Out!

How did you get in here?

Ma'am.

I...

I knocked. The door was open.

I'm sorry. I just wanted to ask for help.

What's the problem?

Well...

My car broke down.

It stalled.

It's pretty old.

So what? You think there's a mechanic here?

I just want to make a phone call. There's no signal here.

You look tired.

And so thirsty.

Jina.

I'm...

Gold.

Come with me.

You really don't want some of this?

I don't drink.

Really?

You're kidding.

At least not now.

This is fine.

Thank you though.

Oh, where's your landline phone?

Oh yeah.

We don't have one.

What?

My husband had the line cut off.

No one uses it anyway.

We all use cellphones here.

Oh... okay.

So...

May I use your cellphone?

If there's any signal.

No battery.

Have you been working here long?

Um...

Joan!

I need you here, hurry up!

Careful.

Hi mommy!

Hi dear!

Hello!

Gold, this my husband Ted.

- Hello, sir. - And Lara, my daughter.

Hi!

- Jun! - Yes sir?

- Bring the cars to the back! - Yes sir.

Let's go.

In any household, eating is so important.

This is when the family gathers.

To us Filipinos...

Even if the food isn't so good,

as long as we're together, everything is fine.

The conversations, that's what matters.

That's how memories are formed.

Forgive Ted, Gold.

He's very sentimental.

It's okay, ma'am.

Only once in a while.

Maybe ten times a day.

Hey.

Just like this beef stew.

When I was a kid, my favorite beef stew,

was that of my mother's.

Of course it made me feel at home,

because it's what I grew up eating.

I tried other people's beef stews,

They're good. But not like my mother's.

But when I met Jina...

And when I tried her beef stew,

With cocounut milk and cheese...

That's when I flipped.

Since then, my life changed.

Hold on.

You don't seem to be drinking.

Don't worry about it, Ted.

I offered him some...

He said 'not now'.

What do you mean 'not now'?

That can't be. You need to drink.

Are you looking down on my wine?

This is special.

Fine...

Never mind. Later.

I will introduce you to my collection, okay?

And we'll celebrate your arrival.

Cheers!

Cheers!

- Cheers! - Drink!

Cheers!

See?

You were kinda slow tonight.

Yeah.

Sorry.

I thought I wouldn't be able to keep up.

You weren't able to keep up.

I caught up in the end.

Maybe you drank too much.

No!

Just enough.

And alcohol doesn't make me slow.

Maybe others.

But it gives me a different kick.

Still.

You seem to be drinking too much these days.

That's not true. I only drink every once in a while.

You drink too often.

Okay, fine.

Then I'll drink less.

You think drinking makes you hotter, don't you?

Am I right?

No.

But Ara...

Whenever I drink, you become even prettier.

Damn you!

Ara... Ara...

Ara!

Why do you keep saying Ara?

My name is Lara!

Damn you!

Damn--

You dumbass.

What did you get yourself into?

[people chattering, clamoring]

Gold!

Hm...

Come join us.

Join us!

Gold

Gold, right?

These are my cousins.

Uncle Roland.

And Uncle Arthur.

Your aunts.

Debbie.

Hey! Watch yourself, he's a kid.

You think he's your age?

Okay then.

Aunt Debbie.

Aunt Letty.

Hey!

That's my wife.

Take my hand instead.

Roland, you're scaring the kid.

Sally. Aunt Sally.

- Single. - Wow!

Single.

You're a double. Like my shot.

Double the beauty.

Oh really?

[laughing] Seriously?

Let's eat.

[laughing, chattering]

Anyway, as I was saying!

And then what happened?

What were you saying?

[laughing, chattering]

Start from the beginning.

[laughing, chattering]

And we're finally here! Let's go!

Hurry up!

Let's get our take-outs!

[people chattering]

Hi guys!

Selfie!

We have a lot to take home.

Can't wait!

Damn, so annoying.

I was keeping quiet.

You were singing.

I was singing.

But I wasn't stepping on anyone's toes,

I was making beautiful music and you come in here,

You interrupt my practice!

You disrespect me!

And to top it all off, you fart!

You asshole!

Get out of here!

You messed up my day!

You don't know anything about music!

You don't know anything about culture!

Idiot! Dumbass!

You asshole!

My lawyer friend wrote this.

I call him AttorNick.

This is a delicate matter, sucking cock.

You might not like it right away.

Remember not to pounce indiscriminately in the dark.

Lest you gag with foot in your mouth.

Nevertheless, do not deprive yourself blind.

To the call of truth in thyself.

Nor accept as gospel truth society's.

Definition of what it is to be a man.

This is a delicate matter, sucking cock.

You might not like it right away.

You're so young.

Let me nurse you!

Ew!

Hey!

Bad people!

How disgusting!

Shame on you!

How dare you!

You should be ashamed!

Shit!

We accepted you in this house wholeheartedly!

And this is how you repay us?

You're disgusting!

And now all you can do is cry.

Hey!

We're sorry.

- Don't cry. - We're sorry.

Stop crying.

Sorry.

- Are you afraid of us? - Sorry!

Sorry!

Sorry!

Here have some.

Sorry!

A while ago you were sucking on a teat.

Suck on this now.

Give us a smile.

Hey man.

There's no signal.

Hello?

Your signal's choppy dude.

Hello? I'll just text you.

What a hassle!

The signal is choppy here!

Go look for signal.

- Hey! - Hey!

Who are you calling?

No one. Just my uncle.

My dad's friend.

Look's like it's wine o' clock.

Let's drink. Come on.

What? Don't tell me you'll say no again.

Come on, let's drink.

Don't you dare turn me down.

Yes sir.

When others see my collection...

What they see are...

Bad habits.

Alcohol. Getting drunk.

Sickness. Hospitals.

A waste of money.

But to me...

These are years and years of conversations,

A mosaic of stories.

To me, these are memories.

But sometimes...

Nothing.

No reason.

I just wanted to have a drink that day.

Is that so wrong?

Anyway, let's drink.

Have some.

Why aren't you reacting?

Is there something you want to ask me?

When can I go home?

You can, no one's stopping you

I can go?

Yeah!

You can go anytime.

There is free choice in this house.

That's the thing.

We're always complaining about how we can't control of our situation

You can.

Thank you sir!

Have you ever heard about the tale of Barangay Tagay?

Huh?

Barangay Tagay.

There was once an isolated village...

You know...

The people there had no spirit in them...

The place was so boring.

And then one day...

A delivery truck had an accident there,

A truck of alcohol.

So many bottles were shattered, but so many others were rescued.

While the driver was getting treated...

All the villagers started salvaging the liquor.

You know what they did?

Of course, they started drinking!

Drinking like there was no tomorrow.

And you know what happened to them?

The neighbors who hadn't spoken to each other for so long

started getting along!

Husbands and wives who hadn't had sex for such a long time,

had as much sex as their body could handle!

And thieves who don't pay their debts

suddenly paid!

Even that old hermit who never leaves his house

went out and watered his plants.

Even fed the rowdy kids outside.

All because of the effect of the liquor?

Exactly!

So the villagers got their spirits back?

Yeah.

When the driver got better and said his goodbyes...

All of the villagers thanked him.

And although they weren't drinking or getting drunk anymore,

their relationships with one another got way better.

Did that really happen?

I don't know.

It was based on real gossip.

Let's drink.

- Ted. - Yeah?

May I ask?

Maybe we can borrow your friend for a little while?

- Of course. - We'll try to bring him back right away.

Sure, make sure to return him without damage.

Come on.

Let's go.

Come on.

We're just taking you somewhere.

Come on!

Hurry.

- Come on. - Good boy.

Go up. Hurry.

Come on! Up!

Please forgive me.

I didn't like what happened.

We know. Shit happens.

But you need to be able to discipline yourself.

That's right.

Especially because you're just a guest here.

You're an outsider.

I didn't do anything wrong. I was just dizzy.

Hey, hey.

- Where are you going? - Hold on.

We just got here!

And you wanna go?

And that's no excuse, Gold.

You shouldn't be making a mess like that.

Please forgive me.

I was just really dizzy and confused.

That's not an excuse, Gold.

You shouldn't be making a mess like that.

You're young.

But you should know how to take accountability.

How will I learn if you get rid of me now?

What are you talking about?

- You're doing away with me. - What?

What are you talking about?

Hurry up! Come on!

Quickly!

- Move it! - It's getting dark.

What?

It seems shallow.

It's fine.

Don't worry about it.

- You asshole! - What are you doing?

- Put that down - Son of a--

Hey!

Just do it! What the hell!

Kids these days.

You know what!

You scared him off too much.

Me?

You're the bully.

Bully? I'm not a bully.

He's an asshole.

He's the one who made a mess,

and he didn't even help Yaya Joan wash the dishes.

Come on, let's get to it.

Fine, let's just do it.

It's getting dark.

Yeah, let's go.

Get out of the way.

You idiot.

This is supposed to be for biodegradeables only.

Sorry. I make mistakes too.

Hey, this is cool.

We can turn this into a solar lamp.

What are you talking about?

- Just get to work. - Fine, fine.

It should be tied to a papaya tree and fed some papaya.

Or with some in its mouth.

That would work.

Hey baby, come here.

Have a seat here, baby.

You're not allowed any papaya.

- Wait, wait, hey! - What happened to him?

Why'd you have to mention the papaya?

- Sorry, sorry. - Debbie, he's just a kid.

Thank you!

It's getting late.

Earlier, you said you got lost.

You ended up here.

And now you can't escape.

Yes, Sir Enteng.

Is the gate locked?

There's a dog.

She's nice.

Kare-Kare.

Sir?

The dog. Her name is Kare Kare.

A while ago they were talking about kaldereta, now it's Kare Kare.

- What? - Oh, nothing.

Why is the dog wearing a tank top?

Don't you know how hot it is?

Whose father are you?

Sir Ted's or Ma'am Jina's?

Why do you assume that one of them is my child?

Who are you, sir?

How are you a part of this family?

Jina's father is my youngest brother.

Where is he now?

Where do you think?

We used to be close...

We got along about everything.

Except for our political views in the 70's.

So many familes were torn apart because of politics.

Even until now, that's still the case.

You've got that right.

We never learn.

Us Filipinos...

We're always being taken advantage of...

Because we allow others to take advantage of us.

Gold.

You're young.

We expect so much from the likes of you.

I believe in that saying.

Because I idolize Rizal.

But there are some of you who are narrow-minded.

Who let their minds be caged into a tiny box.

That angers me.

There's nothing I can do about the others in my generation,

who choose to be blind and dumb.

But the youth...

There is so much for you to research so you can learn.

There's so much for you to study so you can learn.

What's your excuse?

We're all different, sir.

Please don't generalize us.

Okay. How about you Gold?

What will you do?

What's your function?

I... I will...

- I will try--- - Try? What is your function?

Well...

Enough.

This scene is getting too preachy.

How about this?

A Chinese proverb.

Still preachy, but fitting.

The best time to plant a tree,

was twenty years ago.

The second best time,

is now.

What's yours?

What does it say?

Real Gold is not afraid of the melting pot.

There is nothing more fitting than that.

Wait, sir.

Remember Gold...

Do not be afraid of the heat of the fire.

How did you get here?

Let's go, they're looking for you.

I know where you can hide. Let's hurry.

Come on!

Where's...

What?

Where's Sir Enteng?

What? There is no Sir Enteng. Let's go! Come on!

Hold on. Who is this?

Don't mind it.

Come on! Let's go!

Hurry up!

Joan!

Bring him down here!

Stay!

Watch!

Don't you dare resist!

Or I'll scream, Gold.

Shit.

Hey!

What are you two doing?

Damn you, you're such a slut!

My turn!

You asshole!

Jerk!

- You messed with my wife! - Hold him!

And my daughter!

You son of a bitch!

- Hold his ears. - Yeah!

This is tiring.

This damn kid!

Go for it!

Damn!

Hey!

Fight back!

Hey, hey!

Let's hurry.

Can you stand?

Come on.

It's morning!

They're all upstairs.

Come on! Hurry up! You can escape.

Joan...

What?

Thank you!

Be careful.

Miss Lara!

Gold, enough!

- Stop it! - Sir!

Come here!

[people clamoring]

You bastard!

It's my turn!

Hey, not there! Bring him here!

Go for it!

[people clamoring

Make that kid pay!

Hey!

Oh my goodness.

Uncle!

[people clamoring] No, uncle! No!

Stop it please!

[screaming, clamoring]

[sobbing]

Not all stories have happy endings

In all honesty...

Not all stories have endings at all.

That's the way it is.

You don't know where things can lead.

If they lead to anything at all...

- One cafe americano, one cappuccino. - Thank you, thank you!

You're unbelievable, man.

You avoided us for an entire month.

You didn't come to my stag night.

And then...

There.

You didn't even show up at the wedding.

So I made Randy my best man.

I'm sorry, bro...

I have no excuses...

No. You owe me so many explanations.

But I'll let it go...

Because I know you.

Or maybe I don't.

Maybe you've become an addict.

Are we still going to be like this even when we get old?

I hope not.

So... Ara.

She's the one you were calling Damian.

That's why you didn't tell us.

So what?

Are you guys really over?

Melissa and I are just starting out.

And you guys are already done.

So what?

Wanna get a couple of drinks after this?

It's way too early.

Is that so?

If you say so.

Sir.

There it is.

Looks good.

- How are you? - I'm good, sir.

- And you? - I'm fine.

- Are you happy? - Yes sir, I'm very happy.

I'm happy too, because I'm about to see my godson.

- Okay sir, enjoy your meal. - Yes, thank you!
