CONTENT WARNING:

The Game of Juan’s Life explores two hours in the life of Juan Reyes, a live-sex performer at an underground gay bar, who has decided to leave Manila and go back home to his home province. On the day of his departure, he will take us with him as he makes life decisions- big and small. The most important one of all is leaving the impoverished place he called home for a year , capping it with his emotional goodbyes with his lover, Noel. Then, he will let us in to the underground bar on his last performance which is marred by the raid by the authorities. Thus, changing his resolve.

This film is presented in Tagalog with English subtitles.
