S Y N O P S I S “Cricket” is a one-scene story depicting a young woman’s struggle to go to sleep. Her continuous effort to regain her interrupted slumber is always blocked by an invisible cricket whose persistent chirping holds the young woman from going to sleep. The entire film is dedicated to the whole conflict between the woman and the elusive cricket under the backdrop of a flickering night lamp, a black and white TV set viewing a cricket itself and a book: Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. These elements are woven with the woman and her struggle with the chirping cricket all nightlong.
With the coming of sunrise the cricket finally gives the young woman her well-deserved respite.

S Y N O P S I S A film whose theme is inspired by the remnants of Davao’s Japanese heritage found in the small number of Japanese descendants or Nikkei-Jins living in the city. And with the lives of ‘Japinos’ or children born of mixed Japanese-Filipino parentage. Set in present-day Davao City, it revolves around Nikka (Jann Lauree Liz Tagud), a nikkei-jin (Japanese descendant) and Hitoshi (Hiroku Osanai), a Japino (Japanese-Filipino) who meets up for an “eyeball” date. A seemingly ordinary day spent around the city unravels the convergent paths of their friendship and the divergent twists of each other’s fate.
