About bus passagers going to Legaspi, Albay in the Bicol region, Bing introduces poetic time after award-winning real time in “Kubrador (Bet Collector)” which brought much honor to the Philippines in the world cinema. “Biyaheng Lupa” will compete with Chris Gozum’s “Anacbanua,” Lito Casaje’s “Dolores,” Jon Red’s “Beerhouse,” Bona Fajardo’s “Iliw” and Ted Manotoc’s “69 ½.”
SYNOPSIS:
A bus takes off from urban Manila to the rustic southeastern side of the country, carrying a motley group of passengers from all walks of life, each one with a personal story to tell and telling it in their own voice. During the long journey, as the passengers mentally sort out their past and their future, things happen in the present, by choice or by providence, that make the journey memorable—the bus blows a tire, a song elicits tears, a butterfly causes commotion, a photograph gets lost, a head is stoned, some hearts are broken, some mended. The bus ride poetizes the life journey and poses questions on issues of life and death and where exactly the line is drawn between free will and destiny.
