The Man in the Lighthouse
Alternative title: Ang lalake sa parola

Directed by Joselito Altarejos

Mateo, a lighthouse caretaker in a small town, reevaluates his life and relationships after an encounter with Jerome, who inadvertently disrupts Mateo's routine and introduces him to new perspectives.
The Man in the Lighthouse is a tender Filipino gay drama shaped by memory, loneliness and the pull of the past. Joselito Altarejos works on a modest scale, but the film’s emotional sincerity and evocative coastal setting give it a quiet warmth.
