MONOLOGION (2018)
In which a graduating Theology seminarian and a struggling college junior agree to stay as friends—despite the unexplainable longing that seems to be growing between the two of them.
Despite having admitted deep affection for each other, in December 2017, theology seminarian Anselmo Guevarra and college junior Erasme Ferrera reached an agreement to forget their feelings and stay as friends. With one still walking towards priesthood and the other choosing to gear away from all sorts of commitments, there seems to be no other logical choice but to move on with their lives.
But when Anselmo is somehow finally given a chance to find ways to navigate outside his ministry, both are now forced to face the emotions that they had left to die—and to reconsider whether keeping their friendship is still the most logical thing to do.
(Or if trying to hold the other's hand is finally worth the risk.)
