A young lady, refers to water as her first love, reminiscing about the times they spent together and wondering if she will ever experience such a love again. Lastly, a boy expresses an ode about water and referring to it as his best friend with whom he has spent the best days of his youth. Each declares promises that they would change so that their lost love will return. All express the hope the one day they will be reunited this great love. - POPO DIAZ

This is Popo's first (attempt) in making a short film. Invited by his boss, Monster Jimenez, to join the short film competition, his inspiration came from very unique and diverse places - taking a bath, his fascination with eulogies and Fernando Amorsolo.

The film is an entry to the 1st Clean Water Video Contest and will be screened at NCCA theater tomorrow, April 22, 2010 at 1pm.
