Finding your next obsession
Finding your next obsession

At a family-run restaurant in Ilocos, Jorge, a privileged young man, is forced to work alongside Kiko, a street-smart newcomer hired by Jorge's grandfather, Tino, a retired sakada. When Tino suddenly dies, the two discover a hidden cigar box filled with unsent letters and photographs that reveal a decades-old love story between Tino and his best friend, Bong - a bond shaped by migration, forgetting, and sacrifice. As Jorge and Kiko piece together this lost history, their own relationship begins to shift. Set across generations and rooted in Ilokano culture, the series is a quiet exploration of class, intimacy, and the legacies we inherit - and choose to carry forward.
