Two cousins meets after a family gathering displaces one of their brother and forces him to stay with brother's in Manila . Between them, a relationship between a Old-ish woman, a 'liberated' Balik-bayan, and a young ballerina haphazardly zigzags to the confusion of everyone involved.

Not the biggest fan. I think it has its moments especially when the girls unpredictably plays the line of Philippine Melodrama BUT it fails heavily when it kinda let's the chauvinism, ageist and short but very noteworthy homophobia fly-out. Its attitude ages the film out. I found the Jay Ilagan-Sandy Andolong-Rita Gomez particularly strong.

Performance wise, Sandy Andolong and Rita Gomez towers everyone in the film. I think they got the bulk of the truly witty lines in the film. Jay Ilagan is again on a highly acclaimed film. Kinda insane how much acclaimed films he did in his short life. I even saw him on Lino Brocka's relatively obscure 3,2,1 - which he was also good.

Not recommended. I wish this gets remade with a better mindset.

Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca (1942)

A witty sex comedy about two young cousins who trade places for their courtship strategies which ends up hilarious. One of the most quotable Filipino films ever due to its sexual innuendos and ambiguity.
