I seldom give ratings of ten but this is truly a beautiful story and a brilliant film.

(For those who may not know, pinays are female Filipinas and pinoys are male Filipinos.)

I have known many pinays in my life and have spent considerable time in the Philippines. The film perfectly captures many aspects of Filipino culture. This capture ranges from the old fashioned strict, religious father to the two free spirited pinays, around which the story revolves. I don't want to include spoilers but suffice it to say that the eventual outcome is not telegraphed until just before the film ends. The film contains considerable nudity and sex but it is all an integral part of telling this beautiful story. The photography is very well done and the acting of the leads is superb. I urge you to watch this, you'll be glad that you did.
