(Tagalog dialogue)Ongoing to give consideration towards the margins of Filipino society, prolific indie helmer Adolfo Borinaga Alix Junior. satirizes the rewards and burdens of belief to puzzling effect in absurdist drama "Fable in the Sea food." Carried out naturalistically having a couple of comic moments, the pic concentrates on a deeply religious slum occupant who gives birth with a sea food and finds her luck changing concurrently her once-happy marriage goes south. Despite the fact that this mind-scratcher feels as if it's missing one last punchline, further fest exposure is guaranteed. Immediately after devoted, middle-aged marrieds Lina (Cherry Cake Picache) and Miguel (Bembol Roco) transfer towards the giant landfill of Catmon, Malabon City, Lina becomes pregnant. Despite the fact that both of them say they'll be thankful for whatever God adds, Miguel ultimately won't express paternal feelings for your sea food, whilst Lina risks as being a laughingstock by setting it up baptized and turning up on national television. Picache as well as the other female thesps participate in it admirably straight, cooing within the sea food as if were a person newborn. Meanwhile, precisely presented, color-desaturated lensing captures the hellish landscape in the garbage dump since it swarms with activity.Camera (color, widescreen, DV), Albert Banzon editor, Benjamin Tolentino music, Eigen Ignacio production designer, Alix Junior. art company company directors, Roland Rubenecia, Jerome Zamora.
