Rafael is a village mayor caught in the murderous crossfire of the Philippine-American War. When U.S. troops occupy his village, Rafael comes under pressure from a tough-as-nails officer to help the Americans in their hunt for Filipino guerilla fighters. But Rafael's brother is the head of the local guerillas, and considers anyone who cooperates with the Americans to be a traitor. Rafael quickly finds himself forced to make the impossible, potentially deadly decisions faced by ordinary civilians in an occupied country.

No se pasa volando solo por su duración si no por que te atrapa en el mundo de delirio y locura en el que caen los dos personajes protagonistas. Javier Botet y David Pareja están a un nivel sorprendente.
