Abstract/Summary

De Mano is a short live-action feature film illustrating the transformation of Emilio, a bus conductor, from a monotonous, repetitive, and oblivious lifestyle to a more meaningful existence. Shot in the city of Bacolod using its native dialect, Ilonggo, the film narrates how Emilio's stagnant life is challenged by his encounters with the diverse passengers commuting on the bus that day. His experience as a mere witness to the lives of these commuters moves him to reexamine himself. This leads Emilio to confront his banal life as he searched for answers to steer him to a more significant existence regardless of his stature in life.
