CGiii Comment

There's some interesting bits here...a bit of thought went into it...

Obviously, deeply personal...more an exercise in catharsis than a film.

The(ir) Blurb...

While following the struggle of a Filipino LGBT political party campaigning for a seat in congress, the film’s director looks back at his own troubled youth, growing up gay. In a fusion of animation and documentary footage, the film introduces the poetic voice of the director as he deals with a personal dilemma: “Should I jump through the window? Or should I continue my personal battle to come out of my cocoon of doubt and confusion?”
