Synopsis : Lando, a laid-back fisherman, enjoys joining the yearly “Aguman Sanduk” fellowship cross-dressing festivity with his peers of Alpha males as an enjoyable rest & recreation. Meanwhile, his mundane-everyday-life back in his isolated hut surrounded by fish pond waters is beset with a horrifying secret about him being physically abused by his wife, beating him to the pulp and sometimes degrades him verbally to no remorse, whenever they argue; constantly about women link to him. Lando’s wife, Lori is due to leave for abroad as a domestic helper. She harbors ill-feelings against Lando whom she caught meeting up with his ex-girlfriend in a rendezvous. Her unusual violent streak becomes acceptably normal to Lando, who easily yields to his guilt. In the last 2 days before she leaves for abroad, Laura and Lando sum up their differences as regrettably inconsolable. In a heated passionate moment of desire, Laura steps back upon realizing that she doesn’t love Lando anymore. On Lori’s send-off, Lando brews a best-laid-plan to himself, a solution which he believes will solve their irreconcilable differences as a couple forever. While rowing a boat ride with Lori on the river, all he thinks of is to be with her despite her resistance. He’s so consumed with this romantic notion that he just stops rowing the boat and let go of the paddle. He either will have her or lose her to death according to his violent terms. It doesn’t matter how bizarre the expression of loving her would mean by killing her instantly.
