In My Life

Shirley is a woman who wants everything under her control. She works as a librarian at a state school. The students are wary of her sharp warnings. She keeps the same manner at home. She interferes constantly in her children’s lives. Because of it the emotional bond with them has broken. One day she realises her old authority is gone. She decides to go to New York. Her son Mark lives there. There has been distance between them for a long time. Mark is gay and has developed colon cancer. Shirley does not know about the illness. Her son’s partner Noel lives in the flat as well. Noel has no residence papers in the country. Vilma Santos and John Lloyd Cruz appear in the hundred and twenty minute film, a Philippine production Olivia M. Lamasan finished in 2009.
