Spoilers ahead
The film unfolds as a tapestry of lives from the Philippine Science High School’s 1986 batch, weaving together the hopes, tensions, and small triumphs of students and their faculty during the late Marcos era. At the center of the freshman year is Rom [Gammy Lopez], a working-class student who is late to join the school and quickly finds himself navigating his growing romance with Wena [Annicka Dolonius]. Their relationship collides with the school’s strict policy on student romances and the concern that such distractions might hurt grades, a conflict voiced by Mrs. Casas [Eugene Domingo], a teacher whose authority underscores the tension between youthful longing and institutional rules.
