The fall of a dictator and the reverberations on the generation he jeopardised.

1986, Manila, the Philippines. The world finally looks on as history is being made by a society tearing at the fabric of a regime and demanding change.

On the fateful evening of President Ferdinand Marcos’ exile, young men climb the walls of Malacañang Palace, storm the hallways, and seat themselves on his throne. Among them are brothers Martin and Ernie — heroes… if only for a night.

Nearly 40 years later, the siblings reunite in Brisbane, where Martin’s teenage son Leo is incensed that the dictator’s heir is being elected to the presidency of the Philippines. With a fresh revolution and some old family secrets in the air, the three men will reconnect over the conditions of love, the question of duty and the price of rebellion.
