MABABANGONG BANGUNGOT

By Kidlat Tahimik (1977)

SYNOPSIS

Kidlat lives in a small town that can only be entered and exited through one narrow bridge. He drives a jeepney, one of those « war vehicles changed into life vehicles » in his own words. He dreams of emigrating to the United States and becoming an astronaut. He fantasizes about an idealized West although the movie also conveys an affectionate portrait of his province’s popular culture. With the help of an American, he drives his jeepney to Europe and especially to Paris, France, where there are still greengrocers and also bridges. So many bridges!
