FEATURED STORIES

In the trailer recently released by Viva Films, Josh (Napoles) has everything a man could ever ask for: the dream job, the beautiful girlfriend, and a stable family, as he does good samaritan habits on the side.

But things go haywire for Josh when he gets summoned by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) asking him to “pay for his sins.” As he loses everything he has, Josh questions God’s credibility, which leads him to list down the 10 commandments as he intends to break them one by one.

(This film is not blasphemous; we are not discrediting any belief here. This is just one person’s story—the one against himself and his beliefs. There are lessons here, something to learn here. Many life lessons.)
