Kaaway
“Kaaway,” which means enemy in a couple Filipino dialects, is a story set in the mid ‘90s of the U.S. and focuses on two 11-year-old Filipino boys, Jonathan and Calag. After getting into a fight at school, they are forced to spend the day at the same house and the discord is inescapable. The film's central themes are assimilation, shame, and masculinity.
