Director, screenwriter, producer and cinematographer, young British director Sean Ellis' latest film, aimed at attracting attention with his award-winning Cashback/Beauty in Time, is a poetic and realistic detective drama. Coming with his family from the mountainous north to the great city of Manila in search of a better life, Oscar soon finds a job as an armored car driver. Even though his manager Ong treats him with kindness and warmth, his intentions are immediately apparent. Taking advantage of Oscar's honesty and naivete, Ong blackmails him into robbing the company they work for.
