Manila, 24 March—Finally caught the Glorietta screening of Samantha Lee’s “Billie & Emma”, which is currently being screened in Ayala Malls after last year’s successful run at the QCinema International Film Festival. Warning: Spoilers follow! The movie, set in the mid-90’s, follows Billie, a transferee student from Manila, and Emma, a star student at an all-girls school in rural San Isidro, where Billie was exiled to be with her aunt for being a troublemaker. It’s hard enough being a new girl in high school—so much harder when you fall in love with the head girl in charge. Things get even more complicated when Emma finds out she’s pregnant right in the middle of the school year.
