‘Mga Mumunting Lihim’ Starring Judy Ann Santos – Cinemalaya 2012

Jose Javier Reyes‘ “Mga Mumunting Lihim (Those Little Secrets)” starring Judy Ann Santos is one of the five finalists in the Directors Showcase at the 2012 Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival.

Helmed by Jose Javier Reyes, “Mga Mumunting Lihim” stars stars Iza Calzado, Agot Isidro, Janice de Belen and Judy Ann Santos.
Here is the synopsis of the film:

The death of Mariel (Santos) was met with such hurt by her three closest friends. But it was her best friend, Carla (Calzado) that she leaves a most special gift, a box full of her diaries through the years. Carla has been Mariel’s friend since their high school years; they have practically shared everything in their lives together. Their two other girl friends, Sandra (Isidro) and Olive (De Belen) formed the quartet who would get together ever so often and served as a mutual support system. Despite warnings from Sandra and Olive not to read the diaries left behind by Mariel, Carla could not help herself to find out what was written on those volumes of handwritten materials. True enough, what she discovered completely shattered all her perceptions and beliefs of the friendship shared by the four women through the years. Inside those diaries were all the little secrets that the women kept from one another—all the hidden emotions, stories and comments that made their lives a sham. Death should be a closure but it could also be a terrible beginning and realization of what was hidden by the living.
