Sisid

Directed by Brillante Mendoza

Marine biologist Jason and his wife Abby travel to Pola, Mindoro, where Jason is assigned to oversee the rehabilitation and preservation of a fish sanctuary. It's there that he meets Dennis, his diving assistant, and the two immediately form a strong connection.
Sisid is a sensual Filipino drama about a marine biologist whose marriage and identity become destabilised by an intense attraction to another man. Brillante Mendoza gives the coastal setting physical texture, though the film’s melodramatic instincts can compete with its more naturalistic moments.
