I’m Perfect is an emotional cry fest—sweet, heartwarming, and refreshingly different. Directed with sincerity and care, the film follows Jiro and Jessica, two adults with Down syndrome, as they navigate everyday life, first love, and the joys and uncertainties of a romantic relationship.
The film is the story of a soldier named Miguel, played by Arjo Atayde, who is a platoon leader assigned in the Southern Philippines. In one encounter with an extremist group, the confrontation turns tragic when all his men are killed in the battle. Witnessing the death of his men pushes Miguel to the edge and goes amok in fighting the enemy with bloodlust and vengeance until finally wiping up the enemies. After his discharge from the army, Miguel is haunted by the carnage. He now works as a security guard and faces a different kind of war. One evening, while on duty in a warehouse, two drug peddlers, played by Julia Montes and her brother enter the warehouse to hide from vigilantes who are pursuing them. Unaware of who the intruders are, Miguel turns the 2 to the squad. When Miguel sees the intruders shot by the vigilantes, the memories of the bloodbath that befell his platoon come back to him. Riddled with guilt, Miguel takes up the fight for the survival of the 2 drug peddlers. Armed with a rusty shotgun, he wades through a gauntlet of fire and bullets. All hell breaks loose in a night when a tormented soul, a sinner and a horde of demons collide.
