Amidst the noise of today’s content congested digital and pandemic-stricken world, it is a daunting task to tell a story that will stand out. Real Florido’s new opus entitled, BAKIT ‘DI MO SABIHIN (Tell Her), an official entry to this year’s Cinemalaya Film Festival intends to cut through the clutter by telling a marriage story that speaks loud even with the absence of spoken language, a film that will bring everyone to the world of the deaf.
“Bakit ‘Di Mo Sabihin” is a movie about a deaf couple, Miguel and Nat who are struggling to keep their marriage. After a huge fight, Miguel leaves his wife alone in Manila and decides to live in Baler with their kids. As he starts a new life, Miguel is reminded about the reasons why he married Nat by his family’s relentless stories about how modern a woman Nat is, and how he failed in so many ways to recognize that he fell in love with a younger deaf woman. One Christmas Eve, Miguel finally makes a move to tell Nat everything she needed to know. Miguel and Nat are played by two of today’s most acclaimed actors, JC De Vera and Janine Gutierrez respectively.
