The Man in the Lighthouse - aka: Lalake sa Parola, Ang (2007)

Kada sam pročitao da je ovaj Filipinski fim označen kao x kategorija, pomislio sam opet neki gay softcore fim. Međutim iako film obiluje erotskim scenama, daleko je od jeftine xx produkcije.

U filmu se radi o jednom momku Mateu koji dolazi iz ruralne sredine da potraži svog oca koji ga je ostavio kada je imao pet godina. Saznaje da mu je otac otišao u Dubai te odluči da ga sačeka, i da radi u jednom svetioniku, u kojem se nastanjuje. Tu slika za svoju dušu, ima dijevojku i potpuno se uklapa u sredinu.

Na ljetovanje dolazi momak po imenu Jerome sa kojim se mateo sprijateljuje. Međutim prijateljstvo se vrlo brzo razvije u jaču emotivnu vezu koju mateo uporno pokušava da ignoriše i sve svede u granicama druženja , zabave i seksa.
Oće li Mateo preći granicu i postati gay?

Synopsis: Lalake sa Parola is homo-erotic journey in finding one’s
true self Mateo (Harry Laurel) has been searching for his father
(Richard Quan) who left when he was five. His search leads him to

his father’s return, Mateo works as the caretaker of Lobo’s
lighthouse. Here, he meets Jerome (Justin de Leon), a gay man from
the city. What ensues soon after the meeting is the beginning of his
homoerotic journey, while Suzet (Jennifer Lee), Mateo’s girlfriend

one’s father evolves into a search for one’s self. Will Mateo, in
the midst of his conservative rural community, cross the thin line
between being straight and being gay?

This story is a search for oneself as seen through the lens of rural
homosexuality, myths, and fairies (superstitions/belief?); and the
lies that people create to escape the bitter realities of life.
