Jemi Paretas

Historical biographical religious drama film based on the memoirs of Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order who was also canonized as a saint in Roman Catholicism.

The film is a true and faithful retelling of Saint Dominic’s life that it even allows viewers to meet him in an almost personal way. It was created in celebration of the 40th year of foundation of the Dominican Province of the Philippines. It is also the gift of the Province to the whole Dominican Family for the 800th anniversary year of the Order in 2016

The movie is set around a small group of characters experiencing relationships which build and crumble before the viewers eyes. The title of the film refers to the belief, expressed by several of characters, that the goldfish retains a memory of something for only three seconds. Tom, one of the principal characters in the film, draws comparisons between this and the human tendency to jump from one relationship to the next, "forgetting" the pain that any previous one might have caused. The film shows complexities involved in straight, gay, lesbian, and bisexual relationships.
