The Arrival

Directed by Erik Matti

The film is about Leo (Dwight Gaston), a single diligent company bookkeeper, who one day decides to take a leave from his humdrum routine office work and travel from Manila to Murcia, Negros Occidental to literally find his dream girl. Every now and then, Leo in his sleep sees a sultry woman in a flowing summer dress walking to him in slow motion and about to kiss him. In Murcia, he fails to see his imagined lady love but he meets someone else, Melanie (Marilou Kho), a single mother who works in the town’s municipal office.
