Sex And Violence In Christian Linaban's ABERYA

Cinema One originals selection Aberya takes audiences to the glittering underbelly of the Cebu region of The Philippines. Director Christian Linaban has created what looks to be a slick and stylish fusion of sex and violence with the film, one that includes some surprising elements.

Aberya is a trip through the seamy side of Cebu through the eyes of four anti-heroes: an egomanic Fil-am boxer on a pleasure trip, a prostitute from Luzon on a mission, a local drug dealer experimenting with time travel, and a social climber from Mindanao caught up in a scandal.

Take a look at the teaser below.
