The long wait is over, dadapo na ang Mariposa!
Sa Pagdapo ng Mariposa is yet another gay-themed film that will start its run at Robinsons IndieSine tomorrow, May 21. This indie film, produced by Hubo Productions, Inc.1 was originally scheduled to be shown on the week of April but was moved to this week because the producers and the director wanted to make sure that the film was free from minor technical dirt.
Sa Pagdapo ng Mariposa stars Marcus Madrigal and Josh Deocareza. The film has been in the limelight recently because its poster (shown above) was rated “X”. The film is about a man’s struggle of finding himself and discovering love, and his inability and lack of knowledge on how to deal with it. The film is admittedly gay-themed but it is not your typical gay film.
Centered on two main characters, Sa Pagdapo ng Mariposa, explores the interpersonal and intrapersonal human relations and the emotions that are raised because of those. Carlito Mariposa, played by Josh Deocareza, is a caregiver who was hired to take care of injured Sepak Takraw athlete Agustin Vergeire, played by Marcus Madrigal.

Synopsis:
As a caregiver, Carlito Mariposa goes through his mundane existence, helping others with their struggles. But his life changes when he falls in love with a patient, a young Sepak Takraw athlete whose future is destroyed by a debilitating injury.
Leaving his long-time girlfriend and defying the memories and teachings of his mother, Carlito dedicates his time and passion to the young man. He abandons his present and faces his reality. He embraces his nature and finds his truth. Once the truth engulfs Carlito’s entire being, the instinct to follow his true nature is nurtured by the horror of losing his true love.
This love story also stars Liza Diño, CJ Mercado, Lily Chu, Jake Macapagal, Lynn Sherman, Monina Evans, Miguel Castro, and Leo Rialp.
The film also has 10-song soundtrack titled Brave New Music: Songs from the Original Motion Picture Sa Pagdapo ng Mariposa. Kuh Ledesma is tapped to sing a local tune that is played during a pivotal scene in the film.
