Some Nights I Feel Like Walking
Director: Petersen Vargas
Year: 2025
Manila at night is teeming with possibility – of danger but also of tenderness. UNO meets distressed teenager ZION in a bus terminal and bonds in their brief encounter. Two years later, they meet again as hustlers booked by the same client. The night turns sour when Uno’s friend, Miguelito is found overdosed by his client. Zion reveals to Uno and his buddies, Bayani and Rush that before he passed away, Miguelito’s dying wish: to take him home. Together, they lug around Miguelito’s body around the city to the countryside, via buses and highways. With each step, the conclusion becomes clearer: that there is no place in the world for these kids, except with each other. Despite their differences, they have become forged into a singular pack of brothers.
