Synopsis
The unpredictability an harsh reality of the streets of Manila. Plain-clothes police wield automatic weapons through the narrow laneways as they ransack homes, break in on couples during intimate moments and herd dozens of people out into the open. Only some of them are guilty. But in this neighborhood, stealing puts food on the table.
