Sunday is precious. In Taipei’s Little Philippines, Sunday is priceless. Its simple pleasures, perk up wilting ambition and rejuvenate flagging aspiration. The discovery of an abandoned couch, this particular Sunday, sets this story in motion. Filipino guest workers, Manuel and Dado, hoist the couch and head back to their dormitory in the industrial fringes of the Taipei hinterland. This funny road movie is driven forward by the conflict between their irrational hopes and the lurking personal demons of cold, hard rationale. Pinoy Sunday walks rural-third-world protagonists through traffic heavy, fast-paced, modern city streets and freeways; till ‘irrational hope’ and ‘the demons of cold, hard rationale’ mutate, and one is soon indistinguishable from the other.
