According to the film’s synopsis posted on Facebook by the Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino (PPP), Sarah, “an aspiring musician,” and Zak, “a yearning son,” find “themselves in a series of almost-but-not-quite romantic encounters as they follow an uprising indie-folk band.”

“Two struggling dreamers in their 20s discover what it means to grow up as they experience the joy and pain of love and loss accompanied by the music of Ben & Ben,” it added.

Completing the top three film finalists, the PPP announced, are “Cuddle Weather,“ directed by Rod Marmol, and “The Panti Sisters” by Perci Intalan.

The annual film festival will be held from Sept. 12 to 18 in cinemas nationwide.  /ra
