Synopsis of the Film
This riveting feature film
about redemption follows Frank Parish (Patrick Bergin), a retired US fireman
and philanthropist who finds himself wrongly accused of murder and jailed in
the Philippines. Stuck in prison, Frank begins to lose faith in everything he
believes in until he becomes friends with Mando (Dingdong Dantes), a convicted
murderer who denies his passion for dancing just to prove his masculinity and
Allona (Joey Paras), a transsexual who tries to contribute to prison reforms by
teaching his fellow inmates dance exercises.
They get involved in a
tricky struggle between the positive changes initiated by the new warden (Ricky
Davao) and the corrupt system that weighs down the inmates' chance to become
better individuals. Frank finds himself caught in an intricate web of lies and
must choose between concealing what he knows to keep himself out of danger or
to help his fellow inmates by revealing the truth. Will he remain on the
sidelines as an observer, or will he dance the dance of the steel bars?
