520 _aPresents itself as a semi-documentary novella - a scenario for cinema verite. Its foreground characters are inventions, refugees from realms of possibility - inventions but not exaggerations. After all, the "sax and violins" performances by delegates from history involved with the Manila International Film Festival '83 were prelude only the assassination of Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino in August of that year. In turn, revulsion at the grossness of his murder led to the opposition victories in the election of 1984, and to EDSA in 1986.
