Jul 20, 2016 • RJ Firmeza
4. Reasonable Doubt (18+Graphic)
What happens when you don’t have all the details about a crime? You might end up sending the wrong guy to prison. Another timely story about how a corrupt system can cause a misunderstanding that can haunt your whole life.
3. 100 Flowers
A story about a professor named Doug who went on a mission to translate a poem in every possible way, arguing that it is the form rather than the message that matters in translation.
Are you up to translate it to Filipino?
2. Letting Go
Can you really love a person who isn’t capable of reciprocity because of a mental illness? The first part of the story is an enthralling account of what it feels like when time slows down and feelings are amplified, then it transitions to what could be described as painful account of a person who can’t feel love.
1. The Living Room
A powerful and haunting narrative on what it feels like to be a spectator, delving into the personal lives of two people where voyeurism, guilt and grief are all in conflict.
It’s a disturbing but beautiful story told from the perspective of the spectator, but does that make us equally guilty voyeurs to this tale? You be the judge.
