We Had a Plan

Suzanne Raes · Venice de Castro Atienza

After 10 years of working illegally in the Netherlands, Paul and Daniel return to the Philippines with a plan for their future together.

After 10 years of working illegally as cleaners in the Netherlands, Paul and Daniel return to the Philippines. Now seen as wealthy in the eyes of their families, they begin a new life filled with ambitious plans. But even with money in the bank and hope in your heart, surviving in the Philippines isn’t easy. When their savings from a decade of cleaning dwindle, and their freedom as a gay couple is limited, their relationship is tested. How much are they willing to sacrifice for the life they dreamed of?
