Langit lupa is a comedy drama short film about the rivalry of Chikoy and Jade, two twelve-year-old boys from different socio-economic classes, to win over their childhood friend, Nina. As suggested by the elderly sari-sari store owner in their neighbourhood, they settle their differences through street games. However, for Chikoy this fight is more than winning over Nina. At its core, the film is a story of friendship that aims to lighten the issue of the socio-economic divide for the consumption of a young audience.
