In each one of his films, in some mysterious way, Brillante Mendoza always manages to use a full image of the Philippines.
“Serbis” offers the viewer another possibility to admire his complex manner of making movies, by creating an entire network of spaces and characters.
In the heart of Los Angeles, the members of the Pineda live inside an old theatre, where they still show erotic films of the 1970s.
Nanay Flor is the matriarchal figure of the family and she ‘rules’ over Nadia, her daughter, Lando, her step son and Jewel, her adoptive daughter; they all work in the film industry.
Nanay Flor is divorced and she sued her ex-husband for bigamy. After many years of waiting, a verdict is finally released.
That leads to a bunch of uncertainties and we see the family in a sordid and terrible situation, caused by none other than the routine and the monotony of their daily life.
