Filipiñana
Adapted from Manuel’s short story of the same name. Set in the self-contained sphere of an elite golf course and country club in Manila, Filipiñana follows tee-girl Isabel as she learns the rules and tests the boundaries of her new job.
Tee girl Isabel feels strangely drawn to Dr. Palanca, the president of the country club where she works. However, after piecing together a violent picture of what lies beneath the club’s pristine surface, she realizes that what began as an innocent infatuation is actually rooted in a sinister shared history.
