Odie and his best friend Irene are two outsiders who find
a second home in the Philippine underground music scene. The two
decide to form a band and put together an unlikely crew that consists of the
school bully, an ex-punk-turned-barista, and a former-childstar-turned-band-manager.
The film follows their misadventures as they face satanic S&M bands,
samurai swindlers, narcissistic rockstars, the pretentious Philippine art
community and the freakiest music video auteur ever. Co-written by Diego
Castillo, the guitarist of one of the Philippines' biggest rock bands SANDWICH,
and directed by multi-awarded music video director Quark Henares,
Rakenrol is a heartfelt ode to the underground scene both filmmakers spent
their formative years in.
