ALIMUOM NG KAHAPON: Ang Kwento

Kapag pumatak na ang ulan ng Mayo sa isang matinding tag-init, umuusbong ang ALIMUOM. Kahit nakapagbibigay ito ng sakit sa kung sino mang makakaamoy nito, tao man o hayop, ito ay nagbibigay hudyat sa atin na tapos na ang tag-araw at simula na ng malamig na tag-ulan...bagong panahon, bagong pag-asa, bagong pagibig...

Ang Alimuom ng Kahapon ay isang pelikulang tungkol sa relasyong nabubuo mula sa pagkakaroon ng magkaibang ideolohiya at paniniwala.  Ang mga pangyayari ay naganap sa Maynila kung kalian ang bansa ay binubugbog ng Pork barrel scam. At tulad ng Alimuom, may mga sekretong maaaring umalingasaw.

Ang Alimuom ng Kahapon ay pinagbibidahan ng Star Circle Quest 2004 alumnus, DM Sevilla sa natatanging pagganap niya bilang si Nathan, isang lifestyle photographer na napilitang mag-cover ng isang demostrasyon para sa pahayagang pinagtatrabahuan. Sa rally nya nakita si Emman, isang estudyanting aktibista na nakikibaka laban sa pagtaas ng matrikula. Si Emman ay ginampanan ng 2006 Golden Screen Breakthrough Performance by an Actor na si Angelo Ilagan. Nabuo ang interes ni Nathan kay Emman at sinimulang sundan niya ang aktibista sa iba pang mga rally para makunan ng litrato. Nagkakilala ang dalawa ng kanilang iniwasan ang isang kaguluhang naganap. Nabuo ang isang espesyal na relasyon, subalit hindi naging maayos, laging puno ng kontradiksyon, at hindi pagkasunduan dahil sa kanilang magkaibang sitwasyon at paniniwala.

Tinatampok din sa pelikula sina Manuel Chua, Sebastian Castro, Marq Dollentes, Rex Lantano, Ford Fernandez, Alizon Andres at Godofredo Dela Cruz, na may espesyal na pagganap kina Jong Cuenco, Siege Ledesma at Angelina Kanapi. Ang screenplay ay sa panulat nina Rosswil Hilario, Rolando Inocencio, at Julius Lumiqued, sa direksyon ni Rosswil H. Hilario, sa ilalim ng Mountain Trail Productions.

Alimuom ng Kahapon

After the glaring heat of summer, the first rainfall in May signals the onset of the rainy season. But the raindrops onto the dry land bring vapours that may be unfavourable to ingest, vapours that waft off from the land carrying the toxic scents under our noses. This is Alimuom. Despite the toxicity, Alimuom brings changes, rebirth of the land, a hint for a new season, new beginnings, and new hope.

"Alimuom ng Kahapon" is a film about relationships that develop amidst contrasting ideals and principles. It is set in Manila when the country is embattled by scams involving pork barrels. Just like Alimuom, there could be unwanted secrets that get released in the open.

     This film stars Star Circle Quest 2004 alumnus DM Sevilla who plays the role of Nathan, a lifestyle photographer who was sent as a reliever to cover a rally for the newspaper he is working for. His attention was caught by Emman, a student activist, who was rallying against tuition fee increase. Emman is played by the 2006 Golden Screen Breakthrough Performance by an Actor, Angelo Ilagan. Nathan developed an interest on Emman and started following rallies just to take pictures of him. Finally, Nathan got acquainted with Emman after avoiding an event that went out of hand. A special relationship grew between them. But the relationship was never smooth as it was full of clashes, a love-hate relationship as both gets caught up with their differences as they were forced to make choices.

The film also stars Manuel Chua, Sebastian Castro, Marq Dollentes, Rex Lantano and Ford Fernandez, with the special participation of Jong Cuenco, Alizon Andres, Godofredo Dela Cruz and Angelina Kanapi. The screenplay was written by Rosswil H. Hilario, Rolando Inocencio, and Julius Lumiqued and directed by Rosswil H. Hilario under Mountain Trail Productions in cooperation with Jimgital Productions.
