Some Nights I Feel Like Walking 2024

Miguelito, Bayani, Rush, and Uno are a group of friends in Metro Manila who work as street hustlers and masseurs to survive. They search for clients and pickpocket to pay rent. Miguelito splits from the group to entertain a client, while the rest enter an erotic cinema.

Uno meets with a client who performs a three-way with a hustler who ran away from home named Zion. After the act, Bayani robs Zion in the bathroom, but Uno intervenes. Uno and Zion go to a mall to get bandages for Zion. While in the mall, Uno receives a distress call from Miguelito, and they rush out to find him. Zion finds him dying in a parking lot, who wishes to be returned to his hometown. Zion and Uno could not bring Miguelito to the hospital as Uno believes that he was drugged by his client.

Alongside Zion, Uno meets up with his friends and informs them of Miguelito’s death and his dying wish. They agree to bring him to his hometown, although Bayani aggressively expresses his distrust of Zion. They take a taxicab and stop at a hotel to clean Miguelito’s body and store it in a bag. Uno reflects with Zion on what could be his final resting place be, his want to stop sex work, and the fact that he does not own his body as a hustler, and narrates to Zion in the shower room a memory of his first interaction with Bayani

They board a bus at midnight for a rural town named Painawa. They are stopped for carrying an oversized bag, but they are allowed to get in after Zion mentions that he is the son of a military general. After they arrive at Painawa, Rush, Bay, and Uno leave Zion in the bus for the town plaza. Zion eventually finds Uno in a grass field. Uno admits that he left the group to search for Zion and expresses his love for him, and they make out. They find themselves lost in the field and walk into a drag bar; they are generously provided a ride to the plaza, where a festival is happening.

Uno and Zion meet Rush and Bayani waiting by a town chapel. They find out that the house address they plan to visit is vacant, and the only relative of Miguelito is his brother, who is now a pastor. They find Miguelito’s brother and tell him of Miguelito’s death, hoping that he will provide Miguelito with a funeral. However, Miguelito’s brother forsakes and rejects him as he left for Manila, according to Miguelito’s brother, to live a sinful life. The group becomes infuriated, and Bayani and Zion beat Miguelito’s brother. They escape and find themselves in the festival venue, where a fireplace is situated for festival offerings. As the group realizes that Miguelito’s body has nowhere else to go, they reluctantly bring the bag with Miguelito’s body into the fire.
