Pluto Film Nabs Berlin Generation Title ‘Huling Palabas,’ Adds ‘Sima’s Song,’ ‘Hysteria,’ ‘Breathing Underwater’ to EFM Lineup (EXCLUSIVE)
Pluto Film has taken international rights to Roya Sadat's Afghan drama 'Sima's Song,' Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay’s “Hysteria” and 'Breathing Underwater.'
Ryan Espinosa Machado’s Philippine coming-of-age drama “Huling Palabas,” described by Pluto Film CEO Daniela Cölle as “a charming LGBTQ debut,” follows a 16-year-old boy in 2001 who, while searching for his father in the most unlikely of places, becomes mystified by two movie-like characters who appear in his small town. While the wealthy Suraya is appointed head of the Women’s Organization of the communist party in power, Sima marries and gets involved with the mujahideen to defend Muslim values. “Breathing Underwater,” meanwhile, is described as an “emotional, character-driven drama set in the secretive world of a women’s shelter.” It follows Emma (Carla Juri), who is whisked away in the dead of night, covered in bruises and unexpectedly pregnant.
