Edgar?s life starts to collapse around him as he struggles to secure the safety of his family and seek vengeance against his betrayers.
HONOR THY FATHER challenges the security we take for granted: spousal, communal, and religious. Instead, violence, guns, and dirt pave the road to retribution, augmented by cinematographer Ber Cruz? depiction of the Filipino provinces. Directed by Erik Matti (On the Job, SDAFF ?13) with uncompromising grit and drama that surrounds every corner with claustrophobic tension, HONOR THY FATHER wraps its darkness in restless love. Edgar is pursuant of his family?s future in a way that only breeds desperation, proving that not all redemptions are clean. ?Justin Ricafort
