With kind support of French embassy in Manila
This is the story of a simple man from the countryside, who desperately tries to find decent ways to survive in the big city of Manila. He is confronted with the harsh reality of the city, unable to find a job. Out of desperation he joins an amateur gang wanting to take revenge of a corrupted employer. It ends badly. Moreover, he feels guilty to be unable to help his sick father who has stayed back in the country. He plays his last card with the mad idea of hijacking a plane which will take him to his final destination: home or jail.
Manila Skies was inspired by a new item which took place in the years 2000.
