RUINED HEART: ANOTHER LOVESTORY BETWEEN A CRIMINAL & A WHORE (2015)
Starring Tadanobu Asano, Nathalia Acevedo, Elena Kazan, Andre Puertollano, Vim Nadera, Khavn, Mico Madrid, Lhie Santos and Christoff Ken. Directed by Khavn.

A merciless hit man rescues a prostitute from a violent incident in a Philippine slum before the two take flight. Though Khavn, a standard-bearer of the digital age in the Philippines, has already established himself as a director of countless films, he is also an accomplished poet and musician. The bewildering visuals and punk-opera soundtrack expertly convey a world that extends far beyond the dialogue. As the story unfolds, a poetic sentiment wafts out of the chaos, signaling a collision of the director’s many talents.
