The Missing

Dir. Carl Joseph Papa
PG-16 • 1 h 30 min • 2023 • Drama, Sci-fi • Philippines • Subtitles: Lithuanian, English

ERIC lives a rather normal life working as an animator in the Philippines. One thing glaring about Eric, though, is he does not have a mouth, literally. He has a nice but dirty apartment and a good-paying job, and the guy (CARLO) that he likes seems to like him as well. One day, he receives a call from his mother, ROSALINDA, asking him for a favor. Eric’s uncle, Rogelio, seems to be missing, and Rosalinda has the last known address. Eric agrees to check up on his uncle, only to find out that his uncle has been dead for days. Later, while still in shock, a familiar Alien arrives, wanting to take Eric away from Earth.
