Closer to Home
- Finally, a
great award winning movie that realistically shows life in the Philippines today. See the
daily life of a small town family. Their relationships, hardships and joys. See
their home, their town and the countryside with over 25 locations included. |
| Then see how and why this pretty Filipina teenager meets an older
American man, their courtship, marriage and how she copes with the USA culture
shock the first few months after she arrives in the USA. |
| This is the movie we have been waiting on and I recommend it
highly. I have made arrangements directly with the film company in NYC to
ship this high quality 2 hour DVD directly to you. It's better than a
Philippines travel video. Or other Asian travel guide, video, dvd, film,
movie or book. See photo gallery, reviews and screen capture pictures
below. |

| Synopsis |
| Joseph Nobile's Closer to Home weaves a universal, haunting tale of two people inexorably drawn together for vastly different reasons.
Seventeen year old Dalisay struggles to journey from the
Luzon province south of Manila in the Philippines countryside to New York City to marry Dean, an
ex-merchant
marine |
|
| She’s hoping to buy a cure for her dying
Filipina sister and, ultimately, a future for her debt-ridden Filipino family, while
the American hopes to escape his disintegrating American family through love and a family of his
own with a mailorderbride. A powerful, controversial film that quietly builds to a shattering collision of aspirations and cultures. |

| Closer to Home
-- REVIEWS |
| A critically acclaimed film featured in over 26 international film festivals in 16 countries and the critics agree... |
|
|
| "...a creative and rewarding juxtaposition of two cultures, two families and two interesting individuals...a new look at the Filipino-American relationship..." |
|
| "...so beautifully, so convincingly and honestly presented one cannot help but be
touched" |
|
| "This strong, effective social drama cross-cuts between the cultures of the
Philippines (richly observed) and the United States to give a recognizable if not always heartening portrait of the complexities of contemporaneous world relationships that evolve 'when strangers meet'." |
