BENJAMIN follows a handful of characters (all criminals of varying degree), but at it's core is about the strained relationship between two loan shark brothers who are dealing with their late father's death and the sole object he left behind for them in his will: a hundred dollar bill.
Set in 1985, Manila, 3 siblings spend an extended summer waiting to immigrate to the United States, while their country gets ready to evict their homeland's notorious dictator, Ferdinand Marcos.
