Layas (2023)

Five impoverished youths embark on a journey to escape their harsh provincial life, only to find themselves trapped in a child labor camp and later exploited by a heartless syndicate in the bustling streets of Metro Manila. Rescued by a compassionate task force and placed in an orphanage, four of them find new families and success, while one descends into a life of hardship and incarceration. Years later, they reunite as grown-ups, determined to find their lost friend. A lawyer among them discovers their friend, now suffering from dementia in prison, and with relentless effort, secures his release. Together, they embark on a moving journey back to their roots, where their friend gradually rediscovers his past amidst enduring friendship and hope.
