Saling-pusa is an 11-minute drama. The short feature is about Danilo, an old man who lost his son during the Martial Law, and his encounter with Aron, a young boy whose father was a victim of the ongoing drug war. Danilo shares a familiar sense of loss with Aron, leading to a connection between the two opposing personalities. The short feature is juxtaposition of two different perspectives on loss, and how the two characters deal with such. |
