Leo is used to the temporary. Typical of many young Filipinos, he supports his family by hopping from one short-term job to the next. Leo's relationships with women are similarly fleeting. But when he meets the spirited dreamer Tanya (portrayed by a luminous Ina Feleo), he is suddenly faced by the promise of a better future...and doesn't seem equipped to handle it. The film, a gorgeously-lensed romance with outstanding performances, depicts a nation where money dreams and love are elusive.

END OF CONTRACT won Best Actress, Best Editing and Special Jury Prizes at the Cinemalaya Film Festival 2007.
