Alipato: the Very Brief Life of an Ember
Synopsis
The title suggests small pieces of glowing charcoal that will die out soon, but more likely the movie is a wild and crazy fire that will keep on burning for a long time. The film is set in the infamous shanty towns of Manila, with dirty, smelly mountains of garbage and plastic, where people try to survive by doing whatever they can. A gang of kids survive by committing violent crimes. Not a children’s movie.
