Following the death of his boyfriend, the teenage Zion runs away from home and finds himself at a Manila bus terminal one night. Here, he meets a group of street hustlers including Uno, whose casual sensuality stirs hidden feelings in Zion. While some of the group are suspicious of Zion, they nonetheless take him under their wing - until a shocking incident compels them all to leave the city, and take a journey into the past. In Some Nights I Feel Like Walking, award-winning director Petersen Vargas conjures up a part-real, part-fantasised nightscape: edgy and erotic, drenched in neon, the onscreen environments become increasingly surreal and propel the story forward. A talented cast captures the vulnerability of queer youth in this lyrical exploration of desire, home, and belonging.
