Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Ang Lihim ni Antonio (English: Antonio's Secret) is a 2008 Filipino film by Filipino film director Joselito Altarejos. It tells the story about teenage boy whose emerging gay sexuality alienates him from his friends and family, until his libertine uncle, Jonbert (Josh Ivan Morales), comes to live with him and his mother. Antonio thinks he has found a kindred spirit, until the older man's intentions toward the boy become incestuous and an act of unthinkable violence leaves the family reeling.
