Daybreak: A Glimpse Into The Lovelives Of Closeted Men

By UPH Administrator | February 12, 2008

Valentine’s Day is just two days away, and what better way to celebrate it than to watch the movie “Daybreak” with a loved one.

“Daybreak” is a movie filmed in a single location, in a single narrative time, intending by way of third person perspective, to discover what happens to a romantic couple of the same gender spending one night together, contemplating whether to break up or to continue their relationship.

The story of the movie “Daybreak” (written by Adolfo Alix, Jr. and Noel Ferrer with screenplay by Charliebebs Gohetia) makes us contemplate on the fragility of bonds through glances, subtle expressions and silence through its characters William and JP. They make us think of the importance of communicating openly, the untruthfulness, the fear of commitment and the transient shelter that may be the metaphor of love relationships regardless of gender.

The movie showcases the complexities brought about by same gender relationships in conservative societies such as in the Philippines. The characters William and JP represent the intense love but extreme detachment of closeted same gender couples in the world. It attempts to dissect this kind of relationship in its rawness and shows us the beauty of pure selfless love and the loneliness that comes with it.

After watching “Daybreak,” one of its stars, Coco Martin, hopes that, “people should understand the reality and the complexity of same gender relationships and appreciate their struggle in making their relationship work despite a lot of limitations.” For Coco, “the film challenges us to look at ourselves - and how far we would go to fight for our relationships.”

“Daybreak” is a film which was conceptualized by Noel D. Ferrer and Adolfo B. Alix, Jr. It was directed by Adolfo B. Alix, Jr. from a screenplay written by Charliebebs Gohetia. Noel D. Ferrer produced the film which was released through Bicycle Pictures.

Be part of the “Daybreak” experience and catch the director’s cut of the film as it premieres on February 13 & 14 at the UP Cine Adarna (formerly UP Film Center). Regular commercial runs of the movie will be at: Robinson’s Galleria IndieSine starting February 20, 2008; Robinson’s Ermita starting February 26, 2008; and Robinson’s Bacolod starting March 5, 2008.

  4. I’ve seen the film. Simply yet Moving. There’s was a “Heart” in how the movie was filmed. There was one scene that really made it quite realistic - the scene where Coco Martin has to lubricate his “thing” before inserting. Hilarious as it may look like but it was “honest”. Kudos!
