      Tandem (Philippines)  

      Brothers Rex and Roman eke out a living in Manila by snatching purses and getting away on a motorcycle. Their petty crimes spur tensions in their relationships with female partners as two corrupt cops slowly tighten their stranglehold on them. By the time a bigger robbery plan goes awry, they’re in well over their heads.

      Rather than passing judgment, this humble, authentically realized drama details the toll that crime takes on its characters’ personal lives and freedom.
