Celso and Cora
An intimate and moving portrait of a young Filipino couple trying to survive in the slums of Manila. Celso and Cora are sharply aware of the injustices they have to suffer but there is no self pity as they describe the problems they have to face bringing up two young children on what little they make selling cigarettes outside hotels and discos.
Film-maker Gary Kildea comes to know them as friends as they give him a glimpse of a side of Manila tourists rarely see. In conditions of extreme poverty, Celso and Cora somehow manage to get through with dignity and humour.
