Katas ng Saudi (2007)

After 10 years working as a supervisor for an oil drilling firm in Saudi Arabia, Oca returns to the Philippines to visit his family. The film opens with his wife, best friend and dotting mother waiting patiently for Oca’s arrival at the airport. We are then introduced with the rest of the star studded cast, as Oca visits his house, where he meets up with his estranged kids, and parents in loss (in-laws), which shows no affection whatsoever towards him. Only his drinking buddies, mother, and sister, are excited on his return, only because they see him as a prized cash cow. Jose Javier Reyes revisits his movie, Bayarang Puso (1997), in a cheese filled dance sequence, Oca drunk as ever grooves with no pretension. This and other embarrassing situations tears the family slowly apart. (Source: Letterboxd) Edit Translation
