A young boy frequently visits an old man who lives alone, keeping him always in good company. One night, he chances upon the old man watching a dated clip of himself as a cross-dressing boy. This sparks within the young boy an interest to find out more about the old man's past. What he ultimately discovers aids both him and the old man towards a richer understanding of how the weight of life and identity should be carried. (Source: IMDb) Edit Translation

This short film is a very good, nuanced piece that requires you to watch and listen (read) to the details. It has a fairly simple storyline that is well acted by veteran actor Joel Saracho and an early film by an up and coming young actor, Elijah Canlas. Contestant #4 is a film that conveys a lot in a short time and makes you think afterward. Well worth your 20min.

Film skoro o ničem a vlastně o všem. Líbil se mi. Oproštěn od pinoy nánosů a manýr typu afektovaných a vykroucených tetek, kňučení a tragédních scén, si jde za svým a jednoduše sděluje to, co měli tvůrci na mysli ... Když nad kraťasem přemýšlím zpětně, je to dle mě výborné dílko.
