Synopsis:   The film is about Lucas who, in 1986, in the evening of the People Power Revolution in the Philippines, catches sight of the First Lady’s 3000 pairs of shoes at the Presidential Palace and decides to steal a pair for poetic justice and love. He had given the right shoe to Chat, his mother, and the left shoe to Bettina, his childhood sweetheart whose family had suffered from the Marcos regime.

In 2006, Lucas, now a professional wedding videographer, is stuck with his past, unable to move on from losing the love of his life. Similarly, his mother is also stuck in her past, still grieving the loss of her husband, Lucas’ father, Domingo.

Twenty years have separated the shoes and, now, Lucas retraces his journey and discovers that Imelda’s red shoes are his way back to healing and redemption.
