A young man fetishizes a local celebrity and goes in pursuit of being intimate with him - every step taken more brazen and risky. The narative of the film is carried forward by erotic visuals and suspense. There is excellent photography of beautiful male bodies and faces and the tropical setting. The leading character expresses his obessesive sexual desire mostly non verbally, with glances and movements of the body. There is little dialogue in the film, which works to its advantage. The film is underscored by very suitable synthesizer music. There are some comedic scenes as well, with a local celebrity radio presenter delivering the latest gossip with great panache (in Tagalog of course). Watching this film is like being reeled into a dreamlike erotically tantalizing world.
