Synopsis
Hopeless romantic Janzen Torres finds another chance at love when she matches with the handsome and seemingly perfect Theo Balmaceda on a dating app. Unfortunately, on the day of their meet-up, Theo ghosts her, leading Janzen into an intricate web of deceit, lies, and catfishing led by sociopathic mastermind Beanie Landridos.
Review
With strong direction and central performances, Marupok AF (Where Is The Lie?) is a compelling and revealing look into real-life online drama and the ongoing struggle of trans people in the Philippines.
