Description

Being an OFW is not a joke. The sacrifice of being away from one’s family is unbearable but there’s no choice.

After all, it is about survival. But what about the story of a man who just can’t go home for years and with a cheating wife? What binds this man to the ground is the fact that most of his life was spent alone overseas while his wife enjoys the flesh of another for sexual desires. Without power and resources to go home plus an unsupportive employer, this man is like a ticking time-bomb tied on the ground and waiting to explode.He has no power over the consequences that will eventually destroy his and his children’s future.
