Labada

2006

A quiet, slow-burning domestic drama that simmers with unspoken suspicion and the ache of a fragile life starting to crack.

Directed by
Raz de la Torre
Overview
Mylene works as Dr. Lino Broma’s part-time helper. Every day, except on weekends, she goes to Dr. Broma’s house to work. She is married to Edong, a tricycle driver. While at work, Mylene leaves her two children to Susie, her best friend and next-door neighbor. Everything in Mylene’s modest life is perfect. She has a lenient boss, doting kids and a comfortable life. That is, until Mylene’s devoted husband asks her permission to work late nights. Suddenly, Edong starts to act like he’s nurturing a double life. Mylene’s perfect little life is threatened – could her husband be having an affair?
