Bwakaw (2012): Cast, Box Office & Plot

Bwakaw is a drama-comedy about the quiet, sometimes painful process of growing old and confronting the fear of ending life in solitude. At the center is Rene, a gay man who comes out at the age of 70. Eddie Garcia portrays Rene, who, in his twilight years, believes it might be too late for love or companionship and even fears that death may be his only future. He has already prepared a will, leaving his few belongings to a small circle of friends, and he has prepaid for a coffin during a funeral home Summer Sale. His world is orderly, reserved, and increasingly solitary, with his only everyday companion being Bwakaw, a stray dog that trails him from place to place.
