WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER (Kevin Mayuga 2023)

Another searching film from the Philippines, this time a more playful one. It's set in a Manilla condo high rise where a white looking young drug dealer called the Guy is pulled between the working class building staff and his posh misfit clients. Self questioning alternates with lots of partying and drug trips, all going on during the Covid lockdown.

When This Is All Over, 87 mins., debuted at Pasay, Philippines (Cinemalaya) Aug. 5, 2023, also showing at Udine May 1, 2024. It was screened for this review as part of the 2024 NYAFF (Jul. 12-28).
