A deep and visceral film with four nominations at the Star Awards for Movies 2008 for those who don't mind the Pinoy style of narration and processing, the film is not a typical Pinoy piece in my opinion. It has a relatively decent plot, there is not so much naivety and Asian theatricality in it, and the music is excellent. It is only where it is needed and underlines the scene perfectly, rightly the music received one of the nominations. It is from a life, a rough life, two childhood friends. Of course, the Filipino view and perception of prostitution and sex cannot be missed, when gay Enzo, after leaving for Manila, starts making a living from hetero porn, while his childhood friend, heterosexual Maynard, makes a living as a gay prostitute and callboy. Both actors Ken Escudero (Enzo or Lorenzo) and Will Sandejas (Maynard or Adong, he appears here on GT and in the movie Santuaryo, and also in the movies Paupahan and Kumpisal, which we don't even have here on GT yet) are very pleasant, characters, which they play, they managed very well and the character Melang (Ashley Silverio) is also important to the plot. Enzo's mother Norma (Sylvia Sanchez) impressed me with her excellent acting. Enjoyable and I recommend it even to those who don't like Pinoy movies. On MDL under the name Unspoken Passion - here the film is not completely completed (cast)
