Esprit de Corps

Set against a backdrop of military training, Esprit de Corps delves into the lives of cadets aspiring for the position of Major Mac Favila. The story follows Private Abel Sarmiento, who has a troubled past, and Cain Fujika, a Filipino-Japanese character navigating his own challenges. Their rivalry reflects deeper themes of ambition, identity, and personal struggle in a competitive environment.

The film features a runtime of 94 minutes and includes a strong cast, such as Sandino Martin, JC Santos, and Lharby Policarpio. Its exploration of gay themes and the boys' love genre makes it a distinctive entry in contemporary Filipino cinema. The tagline, "Corruption goes full circle," hints at the film's critique of systemic issues within the military and society.
