Program Note
[Pinoy Sunday] is a black comedy depicting a ruckus involving Filipino migrant workers in Taiwan and a leather sofa. Manuel and Dado work on a bicycle assembly line, troubling themselves about women. On their day off, however, the pair happens upon a recently discarded leather sofa. They devote themselves to hiking it back to their home with no means of transportation. And so begins a troublesome, yet hilarious, journey.
To Manuel and Dado the sofa symbolizes the peaceful home. Nonetheless, its meaning differs depending upon where it is. Like the hassle of getting it back home, there are hardships in being happy; happiness comes when such burden is unloaded. For this reason, it is very significant to watch the pair sitting in peace at home after giving up on the sofa, allowing it to be swept away on the river.
Even though [Pinoy Sunday], directed by Ho Wi Ding, touches on the uneasy lives of migrant workers, it talks about the universality of life from a particular viewpoint-his attempt to deal with those “chasing happiness.” (KIM Ji-seok)
