About Showboyz
The manager of a failing gay bar and his macho dancer boyfriend are having relationship troubles as their business collapses around them. But things turn around when a provincial young man arrives looking for a childhood friend and becomes a part of their lives.
Directed by Crisaldo Pablo, Showboyz leans on a strong ensemble — Topher Barretto, Toffee Calma, Kristoffer King — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2009.
