The Man in the Lighthouse

Mateo is a lighthouse caretaker dating a teacher, Suzette, in a small town that is trying to increase tourism. Jerome stumbles across Mateo and Suzette having sex while he is on holiday from Manila. A local gay man who pays local teenage boys for sex talks to Mateo about the negative aspects of being gay in the Philippines. According to local legend, a lighthouse fairy seduces desirable men who then never marry. Mateo’s relationship with Jerome leads to self-reevaluation.
