This is a masterpiece!

This may not be everyone's cup of tea also in addition that this is a somewhat political movie due to the occupation of the Japanese army during WW2 but movie is a masterpiece.

Trigger Warning: Some scenes in the movie shows violence towards the LGBTQIA+ community, Torture (Physical & Sexual), Rape, and War.

- Acting-wise, everyone did such a splendid job. not to mention the Philippines comedy King Dolphy is the one portraying Walterina Markova. He did such a splendid job. The young Walternina & her friends did a great job too on their characters, I had felt what it was like to be a part of the LGBTQIA+ community during those times. I can't dent the fact that being part of the community is such a controversial issue then up to now & also this movie might also have been controversial due to its nature but in my opinion, everyone that has to do with this movie really did a good job~
- The scenes and events were acted & shot great!! yes, it's not perfect but still, the message & the feelings were delivered to me.
- This movie is just purely an art in film.
- The movie was based on actual events told by Walterina herself. You can research the story and some news clipping s on google if you want to know more about her life.
- Will definitely watch this movie again and again if I got time~
