Do-it-yourself documentarian Ryan Pastor (Jerrold Tarog) is a cynic. "Lies + Lies = Truth," he snarks during Confessional's opening frames, before embarking with his girlfriend (Owee Salva) on a trip to shoot the Sinulog mardi gras festival in Cebu. True to the essence of this ancient costumed spectacle-cum-commercialized tourist trap, nothing is quite what it seems. The duo encounter a nun with a surprising past, an entertainer of indeterminate gender and an ex-politician (Publio Briones III) who is either a charlatan, a menace, a genuine penitent or all three. Confessional gleefully explodes the boundaries between "reality" and fantasy, documentary and fiction, while offering a fascinating glimpse into the paradoxes of Filipino culture and identity.
