Synopsis
Maxi, a gay pre-teen, is slavishly and uncomplainingly devoted to his family of small-time criminals in a Manila slum. He cleans house, cooks, washes their clothes, and, if need be, even covers their tracks so they won't be caught by the police. That is, until he meets Victor, a principled, idealistic and handsome young policeman. Victor befriends Maxi and inspires in him the hope for a better life. This doesn't go down too well with Maxi's family.

My Movie Rating:
9 / 10 Excellent movie with great acting from Nathan Lopez in quite a demanding role. This film was massively popular in the Philippines. The later films Boy, Pisay and Baybayin by the same director are good as well. Also see Anita's Last Cha-Cha, Dagitab, The Woman in the Septic Tank and I'm Drunk, I Love You.
My Movie Rating:
9 / 10 8 / 10 The story and acting more than make up for the cinematography errors they made in low light. Its clearly the directors first film and the errors are easily forgiven. I will watch this movie again.
