A quick slice of life of poverty, activism, power, wealth, and corruption in the Philippines circa post Marcos/Aquino. Though the vignettes were overall satisfying, they didn't come together for me in the most powerful way. Though, I did take pleasure to see how each character found themselves at the Camarin, and wishing for characters to be, or not be, at the restaurant.
