Synopsis

'Manila Skies' is the story of a desperate, simple man from the countryside trying to make a living in the metropolis of Manila. He keeps stumbling as he moves from one 'station of the cross' to another. In desperation, he joins an amateur gang plotting a heist, to get even with a corrupt employer. This ultimately goes wayward and ends in devastation. Further hounded by guilt that his father is helplessly ill, he draws his last straw and plots the insane hijacking of a plane to finally take him to his ultimate destination - home or hell.
