- Description:
- Abstract "Pag isang paa lang ang inapak mo, babawiin po ang bahay mo... yun po ang sunog-bahay" It may seem as easy as hopping and stepping forward, but the game piko has its own set of rather intricate mechanics. In the narrative, the game is used as an outline and metaphor of building a relationship with another person. The story revolves around Yna, a struggling young documentary filmmaker who tries to find her place and identity as she juggles work and relationship. Inevitably, she finds herself in a crossroad when her long- time boyfriend and live-in partner makes a proposal. She is torn between her relationship with Pipo and the promise of making a name for herself. Simultaneously, she is working on a project about the game piko wherein she eventually finds the answer a panacea in the form of a young girl's simplistic words reminiscent of childhood wisdom. The game piko is a very important element in this narrative. It is used as a sketch of the situation of Yna's relationship with her boyfriend. The mechanics of the game is seen as a parallelism of the efforts and the attempts to keep a relationship and actually making it last. This film deals with women in the workplace, their role in a traditional and patriarchal society, and the sacrifices and compromises they make.
