Tsinelas (Flip-flops)

Directed by:
Mark John Hermano

Along the street lives an elderly toymaker who makes a living by peddling action figures he created from recycled Tsinelas (Filipino for rubber flip-flops). Outside his shanty, a homeless boy hangs around; his innocent desire to experience how it is to play with toys tempts him to break into the dwelling. This led to a nasty encounter that earned him the resentment of the toymaker. However, an unfortunate incident allowed the boy to redeem himself and patch up their relationship, even transforming it into a mutually rewarding one.
