Neomanila

Told straight from the gut, it follows teenage orphan Toto (Timothy Castillo, Crossroads: One Two Jaga, Violator), who becomes entangled in the complex hunting ground between police, drug dealers, mercenaries and street gangs. He is rescued by death squad member Irma, who takes out drug dealers for the local police on her motorbike. She takes him on as her apprentice and an unexpected mother-son bond develops. But as the underworld consumes them, all relationships suddenly seem disposable.
