[LIST] Counting All the Filipino Sapphic Motion Pictures I Know


Posters or screenshots from the different PH sapphic films and series.
I don't own any of the individual images.

In celebration of Pride Month (this year) and because there's a number of people from other countries who kept on commenting disappointments about the McDonald's ad — despite showing that sapphic relationships are real, normal, and should be treated normally like any heterosexual relationships — because they said the ad doesn't say much about representation when they don't even know and understand how the landscape of Philippine sapphic media representation looks like, I decided to literally count the films and series I know of. (Hindi ako galit!) 

This isn't done as a review if the content is good or not, but I might squeeze in some comments here and there. Also, this is specifically for motion pictures that are created by Filipinos with Filipino actors that are love stories or about falling in love specifically. And sure, lemme try to link where you can watch them (legally). 

By the way, halfway through while writing all these, I had some thoughts (also because coming from watching the Pride Plays of Barefoot Theatre Collaborative). 

I always kid around that I can count sapphic motion pictures, even per creator, if I need to compare how many boys' love stories the Philippines has produced compared to girls' love stories — a concern that also exists in Filipino LGBTQIA+ books (which really have lesser titles).

I see the contrast between the portrayal of sapphic and men-to-men relationships. I somehow think that relationships between or among males are told in a more aggressive/progressive and explicit way, and sapphic ones are more on something as if we are just about to start (well, given the quantity we have, it’s just the introduction of everything). Coming out, sweet relationships. I don’t see much political economy, power struggles in society, or sexual scenes (is it because we want to veer away from sexualizing women, which has always been the case when it comes to sapphic content?), compared to MLM stories. If people are always asking for sweet sapphic content because most of the time, what is seen or known are those that sexualize women, as I was writing this down, I noticed my list doesn’t look like that (but I do understand their sentiment, and I am very much aware of it).

I realized the reason why my experience is different is because, I don’t consume Pinoy sapphic content that is all about sex between or among women in love. I already know firsthand if the film will do that (which you will also see through the list). Just like what Bretman said, Change the channel! But also, I understand not everyone has the privilege and access to do that. So I hope this list helps! So here we go! In no particular order per category...

Full-length Movies:

1. Ang Huling Cha-Cha ni Anita (Cignal Play): My favorite of all time. I'm a sucker for children's stories. For coming-of-age sapphic stories. This film started my fancy toward Therese Malvar (she was using Teri Malvar when this film came out), who won the Best Actress Award at the 2013 CineFilipino Film Festival, beating the one and only Superstar Nora Aunor. She was only 13 years old back then. It was for this film. And her love interest? C'mon. It was Angel Aquino who played the beautiful Pilar!

Aside from the whole premise of a 12-year-old girl's journey of knowing her sexuality, this film's selling point to me was how it exhibited women making their own choices for themselves and even kids learning what they want and who they want — the reason why the second on this list was dethroned as my most favorite film of all time. Anita, Len-Len, and Goying's rapport were so cute and irresistible. Their depiction of childhood life and perspective toward love or having a crush is, I think, something portrayed realistically. Also, nakakatawa talaga silang tatlo! Ang kukulit. I've watched this film seven times already, and my heart still aches in sappy, poignant, yet filled with blurry lines of comfort when Anita says, "'Nay, mahal ko si Pilar." (Pero sa seven times kong nood, hindi ko pa rin makuha nang maayos ano meaning ng ending though I have my own interpretations.)

The film is also available on JuanFlix, but I can't extract the link, and the videos aren't playing as of writing.

2. Rome and Juliet (iWantTFC): Well, from the title itself, looks like star-crossed lovers bound for a tragic end? Well, no spoilers for the ending, but this used to be my best film despite the misses on technicalities like dubbing and audio. But the close-up shots of the protagonists in that particular scene? Immaculate (despite society saying this word is the total opposite of that scene). All because this had poetry, weaved into the script (of course, on top of the sapphic storyline). Yeah. I also like poetry.

More so, Mylene Dizon (Rome Miranda) and Andrea del Rosario (Juliet Flores) are so visually pleasing to watch. Their chemistry was so palpable! Despite comments that this is a spin-off of Imagine Me & You (huwag mo sabihin sa aking hindi mo ito alam? If no, go, watch it, too, but this is a foreign film), because yes, there were really big similarities. I read an article that the director, Connie Macatuno, disputed this claim, given both films were released in the same year. Rome & Juliet was released 10 months after Imagine. My memory might be faulty already, pero alam ko talaga may article na ganito! Because I had the same comment!

3. T-bird at Ako (iWantTFC): This is one of the oldest Filipino films that have a sapphic storyline. Top-billed by Nora Aunor, a lawyer, and Vilma Santos, a dancer accused of homicide and the person Nora was defending, this film was written by Portia Ilagan, who is openly gay (who also had a spat with the director over the ending). However, this has a very problematic representation of sapphic relationships and women loving women perse (specifically T-birds or butches) despite being written by an LGBTQIA+ person as it was crafted through a straight lens. The title itself is considered derogatory. I understand — we have to consider the time this came out. In 1982, this was how the media saw sapphics, no matter how much an LGBTQIA+ writer wanted to fight against it. But honestly, despite the progress the Philippines is showing, after four decades, we are still there as a society.

And yep. The two actresses who were rivals when it came to their careers back then were the stars of this movie. Pansinin niyo 'yung billing sa pelikula. Sabay nilabas ang mga pangalan nila (na ang lakas maka WordArt, as that was the ‘80s). I was told na para raw walang lamangan, ganon ang ginawa. Baka mag away-away ang fans, pinag yu-unite na nga for the film, eh.

4. Baka Bukas (iWantTFC): For sure, millennials and gen z know this film. I bet this is the most popular movie on this list. Written and directed by Samantha Lee, Baka Bukas tells a story of a girl who is in love with her girl best friend. A love that she’s been hiding for a very long time until she finally admitted it. Honestly, the film, for me, was so pretty and glossy (borderline unrealistic). Also, it felt so light, as if everything was just on the surface. I wish it had something else to tell, but you know, sometimes, we just really want to tell a story. It doesn’t have to be too complicated, which I think was what Lee wanted to show. That portrayal of sapphic relationships can just be “that’s it.” We can talk about the other parts in a different timeline and content. (But is that enough? Depends on the audience, I guess.)

I didn’t see myself in it as much as I wanted and wished to. Probably because Alex’s world, though somehow similar to my chosen career, isn’t really the circle I belong to. I also don’t have friends like hers (honestly, the type of people I hate?). A confession, too: I didn’t feel the chemistry between Jasmine and Louise. Though both of them actually acted well. Jasmine is always pretty and a good actor. She embodied Samantha Lee in my eyes. Louise? That jologs acting was something to remember. Also, ang ganda talaga ni Kate Alejandrino aside from she’s an acting gem. Tigilan niyo ang ka iiwan kay Kate. Piliin niyo siya!

During the talkback after the screening, Lee once again confirmed that Baka Bukas is her story. She is Alex. She was/is in love with her best friend. (I was the one who asked if her Jess already watched the film!)

5. Billie & Emma (Tubi): Again, from Samantha Lee. This is her second film. After tapping stories of young adults in Baka Bukas, Billie & Emma stepped back in time a bit to show a love story between high schoolers in the ‘90s in a catholic school. Though told lightly, with no dramatic and gloomy coming-out scenes we usually see in queer stories, this film also talked about women having and making their own choices, and owning their bodies, aside from coming of age, fighting against homophobia, and knowing one’s sexuality.

When I watched it, though the film was filled with ‘90s references from here to there, I felt that inserts and cutaways were forced. And I’m afraid I didn’t feel the chemistry again between Zar Donato and Gabby Padilla. I wanted to, I swear. Especially in that particular scene where Barbie Almalbis’ voice started singing Firewoman. This made me feel that “I have a problem” (or it’s me, hi, I’m the problem) with Samantha Lee films, coming from my Baka Bukas experience.

Link provided is from Tubi. Your device needs to be “in the US” to access the content. 

Nakakadalawang Samantha Lee na tayo. This also shows why we need more representation. Hindi naman pwedeng puro si Samantha Lee lang ang sapphic creator.

6. Distance (Netflix): Ahhhh! Therese Malvar once again, without me knowing yet she’ll be paired with Adrianna So. They were so cute, my OTP (which unfortunately seems like not happening again. What should I do for them to be once again paired in a sapphic content?)!

Aside from Malvar and So’s team-up, Distance really revolved around Iza Calzado’s estranged relationship with her family, ex-husband, and the kids she left (including Therese) to be with her lover, Max Eigenmann. Ang ganda rin ni Max talaga. (Tama ba paggamit ko ng estranged?!) Top-billed by Iza, Max, Therese, and Nonie Buencamino, needless to say, this film by Perci Intalan has a great ensemble. The acting was on point from start to finish, even those of the supporting cast. Also, this was written by Keavy Eunice Vicente, who identifies as a sapphic, too. Representation, right?

The film felt like a plateau, but it makes sense as I think it was meant to be that way. You can literally feel the tension and distance between all the members of the family from Iza and vice versa. It was a plateau until that spectacular climax, opening a can of worms, isama niyo na skeletons in the closet, toward the end, which was brought to us by, of course, Therese Malvar and Iza Calzado. Though till now, I’m still asking myself if Malvar’s line, “Mali ka. We’re not the same,” was internal homophobia or if it was her telling Iza “Hindi ako kagaya mong mananakit ng mga taong nagmamahal sa ‘yo.”

Ang dami kong ebas. Babawasan ko na. Most of the next ones were released long ago, and my memory could no longer remember that much of what I felt when I watched them anyway. Or maybe I just can no longer articulate my thoughts.

7. Ned’s Project: Ned, portrayed by Angeli Bayani, is a lesbian tattoo artist who would like to have her own child. No to adoption. She must conceive the child. Aside from she could not conceive without having sex with a man, artificial insemination is a costly option. So she decided to join a lesbian talent contest for a hefty prize which was one of the reasons why she grew closer to Ashley, Max Eigenmann (again, ang ganda niya), who was one of her new clients. Because Ashley can dance, and that would be Ned’s presentation.

Aside from Bayani and Eigenmann’s lovely chemistry that made me feel like they were the only persons in the world when they were together, I really liked the OST of this film and the shots, especially their scenes on the bridge. Bayani’s acting has always been exemplary, in all the films she has been in, so there’s no need to discuss that here. I couldn’t remember anymore why she wanted to have a child, but the synopsis said it is Ned’s lifelong dream to be a mother. But through Ned’s conception journey, aside from joining a talent show, she had also taken different desperate measures just to achieve her dream.

Unfortunately, I can’t find a link where to stream the movie.

8. Adan (Viva Films YT): I had no intention to watch this film as I already had assumptions about it based on the trailer, publisher, and creator already — another movie with overly sexualized explicit adult content starring two women. Male gaze, here we go. But I did for this blog entry. LOL. What I can only say about this is that, I was honestly surprised that it actually had a structure, compared to movies of its kind. It was put together in a way I didn’t expect. Like Lego bricks built to form a wall. But perhaps, we should really just let LGBTQIA+ creators do LGBTQIA+ films so sapphics aren’t depicted as crazies like how society already sees them to be.

9. X-Deal and X-Deal 2: I just recently learned this has a second movie! Though both movies were still directed and written by the same people, Lawrence Fajardo and Jimmy Flores, and produced under Viva’s umbrella, the characters are no longer the same so the second one is not a continuation. However, they have the same plot, and even how the ending went had almost the same approach. Just a different setting or location. Yes, both movies have explicit scenes. The deal is about sex.

The good thing? One woman conniving with another woman to get rid of the men in their lives, is equal to sapphics end game!

10. Changing Partners (iWantTFC): This was so interesting! I'd like to know why I delayed watching this (Thea, why?!). I tried to watch it a couple of years ago but I didn’t finish it due to reasons I no longer remember (probably my attention span or my head was somewhere else). Now that I had just finished it (as in katatapos ko lang habang tina-type ito), I was in awe and wondering what the stage play looked like. How did they transition if it had the same plot or approach? I don’t like musicals on screens but I made it through its end. Though I can hear clearly how Filipino stage play it sounded. What I mean by that is that, I feel the play didn’t transcend smoothly to its adaptation to screen when it comes to the music. But it was good! It was a prolonged catharsis. I was hoping for a different ending but looks like, it was the ending all of them deserved.

Changing Partners is a film that shows May-December relationships. It was heavy on different scenarios that exhibit differences in age (and how society looks at it), power play, and emotional cheating. It also used gender-neutral character names, only four characters all throughout (like it was really a stage play), and most importantly, showed that love, relationships, and struggles, are just all the same regardless if it’s heterosexual or same-sex.

Shorts:

1. Astray (Nerissa Picadizo YT): Put Angel Aquino in a sapphic content and all sapphics will watch it. Do I need to say more? (Now I am thinking if this is an objectification of Angel Aquino, stereotyping her, or she’s just a really good actor) If you wanna see Angel Aquino flirting with Althea Vega, this is for you. Though I might need to warn you that this is about unrequited love, freeing one’s self from pain, and letting go. There are also “supernatural” tropes in it.

2. Forever Natin: Iniyakan ko ito sa Cinemalaya! I think almost everyone in the audience did. It’s a story told over and over again about two women who are in love with each other, but society just has its own way of stopping this beautiful growth because they say it’s a sin. Yes, the ending was so sad. I think while watching, I assumed only 10%, it would end up sadly. I had high hopes it won’t be!!!! Now I am sad again remembering that moment and knowing I can’t find a link to share.

3. Dikit: This was hailed as one of the best films by CNN and also took two awards from its Cinemalaya run. However, I am disappointed that this film did not resonate with me despite having the factors that would make it something I would like. Sapphic? Yes. Mythological being/s? Yes. Still, it didn’t reach me. It’s a silent film, by the way. I think it’s also somehow experimental, as it was told on a split-screen. I could say it was an intelligent approach, the split screen, given the premise of the story, but unfortunately, in its totality, I am probably not its audience.

4. Until It’s Safe: Another one by Samantha Lee but this time, she co-directed and co-wrote this with Ella Lentini (O, di ba. Told you. Puro Samantha Lee na lang ba tayo? Not complaining for having Samantha Lee but we need variety. Maka reklamo ako rito, kakaunti na nga lang ang meron tayo?). I was able to watch this during its free run on the Outfest’s website. Unfortunately, wala na siya ngayon. But this short film, starred by Jasmine Curtis-Smith and a foreign actor, Ella Lentini, is about a sapphic relationship during the pandemic quarantine.

5. Bye, Bye Bituin (Tin Velasco YT): First saw this in QCinema shorts roster. Medyo hindi ko na maalala pero this is about two best friends and the other one is leaving (the country? Hindi ko na kasi nire-review ‘yung link, para may sarili rin kayong experience), both need to admit their feelings toward each other and figure out how will they go forward. Ang concern ko rito was the kissing scene. It looked so fake, from afar or near, hence those lipstick marks and stains.

Series or an episode of a series:

1. The Rich Man’s Daughter (GMA YT): Totally groundbreaking! A sapphic love story in Philippine TV primetime, on one of the biggest networks? What a breath of fresh air, breaking barriers on television. The series was a take on the life of lesbian Hong Kong socialite Gigi Chao, whose father offered to pay roughly US $65M to the man who would convince his daughter to marry him.

It’s not perfect. It has its flaws, especially in the different parts of its storytelling (also very pinoy teleserye at some point). Nonetheless, one can say that producing TRMD is one of the bravest things GMA has done. Aside from the number of kilig scenes (JaThea, ang love team ng taon!), representation, intersectionality between Chinese and Filipino cultures, and struggles of the LGBTQIA+ community presented, what made this series refreshing to me was the cinematography — it felt like an indie film mixed with a commercial motion picture. Those close-ups and bokeh were delicious! I would think that aside from the fourth and sixth on this list, this is the most famous sapphic series in the Philippines. Rhian Ramos and Glaiza de Castro’s (love team name RAstro) chemistry was off the charts. Who would forget all those fan services that made the fans (including me) ballistic, in a good way? (And again, if you watched Imagine Me & You, you will see semblance in episode 1. As in, the shots are closely similar! What in the sapphic universe is this?!)

All 64 episodes are on Youtube! Thank heavens, they uploaded it. Though they didn’t show the kiss on TV, prolly because of MTRCB, RAstro did have a kiss scene. *wink*

When this aired, I bought my own TV so I could watch it alone. Aside from it being something new on PH TV, during that time, the storyline resonated with, let’s just say, my stories of the heart.

2. Fluid (iWantTFC): This series made me start to wonder why all sapphic visuals need to be eye candy. Eye candy in the definition that they are pleasing to look at. Or those whose lives are in magazines. Or there’s a stereotype that sapphics are in advertising, the creatives. Because I watched it after Baka Bukas. When can I see a pretty sapphic who works in a talyer? (Itong-ito ‘yung nasa utak ko non kasi tignan niyo naman si George sa Fluid) Or a jologs sapphic bukod sa jologs sapphic ni Louise delos Reyes. Badidap si Roxanne pero ibang Roxanne ang nandito (though hindi ko talaga alam ano specifically meaning ng badidap?! My audacity.)

3. Call Me Tita (iWantTFC): Mylene Dizon and Ice Seguerra. That’s it! (Ta’s hiniling ko ulit na ilabas nila si Juliet Flores.) But to tell something about the series perse, this is so fun to watch. It gave me different perspectives since the show has women not in my age group. Until now, iniitay ko ang Season 2. Sabi ni Direk, intay raw, eh. 

4. Pearl Next Door (The IdeaFirst Company YT): Of course. I know this is one of the most famous series here. Mag away sila ni Sleep With Me sa billing ng online sapphic series. A pandemic-produced series, like its predecessor Gameboys, I was too excited about this show that I even made a reaction video for its pilot. Because it’s just one among the very few sapphic shows we were having amidst the pandemic when boys' love series (seem to be) are popping like mushrooms every week! May kanya-kanya pa silang schedule na Gameboys was every Friday. Hello, Stranger was every Wednesday. My Day the Series was every Saturday. Ben x Jim was every Thursday. And mas dumami pa ang BL pero sa GL, we only had Pearl Next Door, Fluid, and Chasing Sunsets during that same year, and after two years, wala na, while BL still had Gaya sa Pelikula and Oh, Mando! Hustisya. (Kung may hinahanap pa kayong BL title, I think I know what you are thinking pero ‘di ko minention. LOL.)

Unfortunately, maski gandang-ganda at fave ko si Adrianna So, PND fell short of my expectations. Hindi ko alam kung pandemic content fatigue (Gameboys was OK for me na inabangan ko talaga kada ere ng episode) or it’s really because PND had too many side stories (bumalik ang GavReel when we could give Pearl her own limelight) also, may story rin ni Fonzi and another guy. Most of all, what I really didn’t like was all the push and pull that choosing between Alex and Karleen was too repetitive already (and I got tired of it), only to end up that way. TAPOS WALANG KISS? Chos. 

Also, where is season 2? In relation to the season 2 news, if you noticed the ending, it felt like just another repeat, especially on Alex’s storyline. Alex, c’mon, girl. Let go!

5. Hush: Here She Comes (iWantTFC) (Episode 1 of the Series, but it used to be Episode 6 when it was first released): Tatlong beses ko na ata itong pinanood. I liked Mika Javier and Mara Lopez’ chemistry. The series premise, for all its episodes, is to have explicit scenes, and this wasn’t an exception. My downside here is that, like any other sapphic content we usually had in the past, especially on foreign ones, this involves cheating from their present heterosexual relationship. Why do we always have to do that? That for sapphics to realize they are sapphics, a man who is doing nothing wrong, has to be cheated on (Hello, Imagine Me & You, yes, I am talking about you. Also, The Rich Man’s Daughter). One of the tropes I am so tired of, and personally, I don’t dig into. Maski straight portrayal pa ‘yan.

The series is also available on Netflix.

6. Sleep with Me (iWantTFC): Another one by Samantha Lee. I was worried again na baka I wouldn’t like it as much as I like other sapphic stories. As I mentioned in the past movies on this list, I can’t find the chemistry between Lee’s cast. And yeah, this happened here, too, but Lovi and Janine’s team-up grew on me after three episodes, I think. Yeah, I still wanted to finish it. Ang gwapo ni Lovi (na ang ganda). Ang ganda ni Janine.

Like Baka Bukas (na hindi ko nasabi sa part na iyon), may mga off na batuhan ng linya para sa akin all throughout. I know these two ladies are good actors, so what was the problem? It felt like the lines were forced, or maybe, I really was the problem.

Aside from a cute sapphic storyline, Sleep with Me covered the things I felt Baka Bukas lacked. It had the intersectionality of things. This talked about the lives of persons with disabilities.

7. Love Bites Season 2: Stand-in Love (ABS-CBN Entertainment): Ang cute nito! Ang ganda rin ni Aya. Puro kagandahan ng cast ebas ko rito when sinabi kong napaka glossy ng sapphic content ng Pinas, no? Syempre, eye candy for profit, let’s be real. For profit and traction.

Though may parts that I felt and saw that Iana and Aya were really acting, this episode was well produced in terms of structure and look. May isa talaga akong major na tanong, eh. Anong nangyari sa jowa ni Zia? Based on true story rin daw ito at gumawa pala ako reaction vid for this.

8. Chasing Sunsets (Camp Avenue Studios YT): I didn’t finish this but you might like it, so adding here. I think I only watched one or two episodes. Aside from the sapphic storyline, creators said it also tackles mental health. Medyo hindi for me ‘yung approach ng storytelling hence I stopped.

9. Lulu (Vivamax): Two women with different perspectives about life were locked down on a beach due to the pandemic. Tinapos ko ito, but I fast-forwarded the majority of episodes. I even paid for VivaMax’s subscription just to watch this because I had high hopes and excitement as this is directed by Sigrid Andrea P. Bernardo, the director of Ang Huling Cha-Cha ni Anita.

For me, Rhen’s acting was a little over the top. Maybe that’s what her character is asking for. But more than that, I find Rhen Escaño and Rita Martinez’s chemistry lacking luster.

10. BetCin (WeTV): Two ex-lovers join a reality show for the sake of the prize. Hindi ko ito tinapos maski ang promising kasi it’s Andrea Torres and Kylie Padilla. Bagay pa naman sana sila kaya lang it’s the whole story perse. Napagod ako panoorin siya sa lahat ng push and pull nito. Like, Beth, if ayaw mo na, ayaw mo na. Hindi maka kawala ‘yan? Anyway, again, it might be a different experience for you.

11. Dirty Linen (iWantTV): Windang kayo, no? Kami rin, eh! LOL! Atty. Olga and Leonna are in the house. Hindi man sila ang main pairing sa teleserye na ito, it’s another step for PH sapphic content representation to have Janice de Belen and Andrea del Rosario show a relationship between two women in primetime PH TV. Also, it’s another perspective as they are already adults and not a story between teens. May play of power pang ganap since Leonna is married to a “powerful” man. However, again, cheating trope. And who is to blame? The society.

Bring Rome Miranda in! Chos.

And because Sapphics will watch anything that has a sapphic storyline in it (Don't dare lie to me! You and I both know this is the truth!), adding the following motion pictures that have mentions of sapphic stories: where the women loving women storyline is really not the main plot or the sapphic storyline was presented in just a few minutes may it be through a second of a kiss or a short mention. These can be considered glimpses that, if you blink (or speak and your voice will cut the audio of whatever you're listening to), you might miss it!

1. Matangtubig (TBA Studios YT): This doesn’t particularly revolve around a sapphic relationship but political controversies. The sapphic facet here is somewhat nuanced (Teri Malvar involved), and if you blink or talk to the person beside you, you might miss it.  

2. Barber’s Tales: Eugene Domingo and Iza Calzado shared a very brief (yet tragic) kiss. OK na?

May nakita akong streaming pero hindi ko kasi sure if may permission ba sila to upload the film so I won’t link it up na lang.

Additional ones I haven’t finished watching or I haven’t watched yet but in my radar (at hindi ko pa trip panoorin as of this moment):

1. Si Chedeng at Si Apple (iWantTFC): I remember watching this long ago but I didn’t finish. Here’s a summary from IMDb: In the wake of her husband's death, Chedeng, 66, decides to come out of the closet. Her best friend Apple, 63, beheads her live-in partner in a fit of rage. Bound by friendship, the two elderly women, together with the severed head placed inside a Louis Vuitton bag, set off an adventure to find Chedeng's ex-girlfriend.

2. Kaléldo: I also haven’t watched this but matagal ko na siyang alam. Here’s a summary from IMDb: Mang Rudy, the widowed woodcarver, wields an iron hand over his three daughters: the fun-loving but rebellious Grace, the youngest, who goes through the throes of adjusting to married life; the feisty and headstrong Lourdes, the middle daughter, who succumbs to an extra-marital affair; and the subservient and discriminated on eldest, Jess, a lesbian who brings home her girlfriend to take care of the father after he succumbs to a heart attack. The story unfolds in a series of events that marks the beginning, the middle, and the end of summer. This confirms the film's statement that life, like the various turns of events that govern the characters' lives, is as changeable and volatile as the seasons.

Let me know in the comments if I missed anything or if you recommend something outside of this list so we can also let others know about PH sapphic films and series available for streaming!
