Lawrence and Jaime were close friends in high school, but now go to different universities in different countries. After four years apart, they meet up for a week of indulgence in Manila, Jaime’s hometown. The city is largely unaffected by the War on Drugs, but neither can shake off feelings of longing and boredom. Filmed in a rapidly expanding Asian metropolis, *An Unscripted Earth* is an award-winning film exploring memory, the challenges of young adulthood, and the uncertain path ahead in our interconnected world.
