(Lando And Bugoy)

LOGLINE:
Disrespected by his teenage son, a 40-year-old High School dropout tries to solve this problem by returning to school which only makes his son hate him even more. Amidst the struggle between them, an unexpected event changes everything.

SYNOPSIS:
Set in Camiguin Island, Mindanao, the film centers on Lando (40), a lapida maker, and his son, Bugoy (15).  They are both called in by the high school principal because Bugoy has not been reporting to his classes.  Desperate, Lando tries everything to lure his arrogant and disrespectful son to go to school, unsuccessfully.

Then Bugoy changes his mind but on one condition, he thought his father wouldn’t be crazy enough to say yes: “I will go to school ONLY if YOU go back to school as well!”  Well, Bugoy was wrong.  Lando became the laughingstock of the whole school and like his son, he’s not doing well with his studies.  He eventually decides to apply himself and wins the heart of the students and teachers.  But this achievement is keeping him and his son farther apart.
