From the makers of “Walang Kawala”, DMV Entertainment, comes another riveting tale of poverty which leads men to engage in the oldest profession in the world. “Heavenly Touch” delves on the lives of students, who, in wanting to secure for themselves better futures, succumb to involvement in activities which could help them meet their presents needs. This seemingly easy way out of their current predicament, however, turns out to be the worst decision in their lives as they get themselves trapped in an intricate web filled with lies and deceit.

Here is the movie’s synopsis: “Nursing student Rodel (Paolo Serrano) supports his schooling by working nights as a masseur at the Heavenly Touch Spa, which offers more than massage to its clientele. When he discovers that Jonard (Joash Balejado), a former classmate for whom he has secret romantic feelings, is in dire need of a job, Rodel teaches him basic massage skills and brings him to the spa.

Immediately, the reluctant Jonard discovers that, contrary to its name, the spa is a place ruled by a vicious ex-cop, Sir Tong (Jeffrey Santos). The jolly and maternal spa manager, Mama Orange (Jim Pebanco), makes up for the owner’s cruelty even as he treats Sir Tong with abject devotion.

Sir Tong has a fair-haired boy among the masseurs, Biboy (Marco Morales), his trusted lieutenant in his business. Biboy takes a liking to Jonard, much to Rodel’s distaste. Soon, Rodel’s affections for Jonard can no longer be denied.

Jonard finds financial relief in dispensing massage and extra service to his clients. Suddenly, there’s hope for his fight against the impending foreclosure on his family’s home. Rodel also eagerly contributes his own earnings to the cause, especially the tidy sums he receives from a very generous home-service client, the lovely Sheila (Gwen Garci).

Amidst the spa’s oppressive state of affairs and Jonard’s bleak domestic situation, romance blooms between him and Rodel.

Unfortunately, Rodel gets a terrible beating when he and Sheila are caught by her politician benefactor. With Rodel sidelined by his injuries, Jonard has no one to turn to when his financial problem escalates. Jonard succumbs to Biboy’s overtures, setting off a series of events that culminates in a violent confrontation between Sir Tong and Rodel.”
