“Marupok AF,” alternatively known as “Where is the Lie?” is based on a true story about a transgender college student who matches a handsome individual on a dating app. However, she later discovers that she has fallen under a catfishing scheme carried out by a prominent art director who holds a grudge against LGBT+ individuals.
The film discusses the matter of transphobia in the Philippines and the risks of online dating. There are also scenes of characters telling their side of the story, much like real-life cases. While it seems unbelievable, the case of cyberbullying and online manipulation targeting trans people within the country is very true.
Director Quark Henares stated at a press conference on July 4 that the film was a conscious effort on his part to do right by the trans community. He mentioned that despite the movie’s intended genre, its message remains simple and reflects the harsh realities of today.
You can watch Marupok AF at your nearby Ayala Mall Cinemas today.
