At the end of the brave knight's journey, he meets his true love, but not as he imagined her. Perhaps we fall in love with the image of the beloved and not her true self. Can we still love after our self-inflicted illusion of the lover fades? Director Kit Singson explores this dramatic question with actors Jo Dale Reyes and Marya Dela Torre by delving into a scene from Jay Crisostomo IV's A Parable of Weak Flesh.

Peachy, who is miles away, needs her brother Benny to step up and take care of their father, with whom he’s estranged to.
