Damaso features the story of
writer Fernando Damaso (Marlo Mortel), who seeks to materialize his
story to a film. At the same time, it goes back in the past, revealing
that his book counterpart, Padre Damaso (Arnel Ignacio), is facing the
same problems of his own. This musical-within-a-film shows how
the struggles we (and the entertainment industry too) are facing today
are no different from the abuse Filipinos encountered under the Spanish
colonization. To have more in-depth and entertaining storytelling, the
film showcases the character’s thoughts and feelings through singing and
dancing.
