Heavenly Touch

Orange! You have a client.

Mama!

- Lucky you! Afternoon delight!

Aren't you going inside?

- Later, sir.

Hurry! Here they are. Look, beautiful boys!

Oh, yes! Handsome bunch.

- But of course! And they're all good.

Really?

They're all game. All the way.

- All the way?

You bet! Go ahead. Take your pick.

Oh my! Tough choice. Give me a minute.

They're all OK. They've got nice teeth, all of them.

Who is he? - Which one?

- That one. - That one?

OK. Come with me. Quick!

Come here. You, Enzo.

- Yes, that one.

Look, quality product!

Handsome!

- Very young. Very fresh!

Count on it, Mama!

Be good, everyone!

- Let's go. - l'll take care of you.

- Give him our special massage!

- l'll treat him to everything special.

So this pretty one would come back.

He's a generous tipper.

Enzo, give your best!

- That's what l do.

Put on your briefs!

Hey, where you going? Come here.

Enzo, be gentle with him.

Do you have a girlfriend?

- Huh?

l said, do you have a girlfriend?

- No, l don't.

l'm Rodel.

Student by day, masseur by night.

l'm single, l live alone...

...don't have many friends.

But here at work, l make people happy.

So l'm happy.

We all need to be touched by others.

When we touch and hold another,

we affirm each other's humanity.

This is the most basic instinct of the flesh.

We all need to be touched.

Caressed.

Fondled.

Before man became homo sapiens...

...there was homo erectus.

But some anthropologists believe homo erectus

was not a separate species from homo sapiens...

...but only a transitional phase.

ln other words:

we are all... homos.

Hey!

- Oops! Sorry.

Look where you're going!

- Jonard! Hey! - So sorry.

How are you? Long time no see.

Let's get something to eat.

Eat as much as you like.

- Thanks. Haven't had lunch.

Why did you drop out so suddenly?

l couldn't get in touch with you.

l sold my cellphone.

My family's hard up. l need a job.

Both your parents work abroad, right? What happened?

Dad left us. He has another family.

And your mom? The maid in Hong Kong?

Got laid off. Her employer lost his

business due to the recession.

She was sent home.

When she got here, she was devastated.

She found out dad had abandoned

us for his second family.

Poor mom! All her sacrifices went for naught.

Brother...

...we need to pay the electric bill.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Where will l get the money?

Where's mom?

- ln her room.

Why didn't you call her?

Stay there, l'll do it.

Mom? Mom!

Mom! Mom, let's go eat.

Put some food in your tummy.

Mom, please!

Mom!

Doreen and l had to quit school.

She takes care of mom.

No other way...

l took a job as a waiter in a

Japanese restaurant in Pasay.

That's quite far.

l could handle the commute.

But after only a month,

l quarreled with a rude customer.

l answered back.

The manager fired me.

l was told the customer is always right.

You need a job now?

Yes. Any job, Rodel.

l'm hardworking.

l need the money!

Wait, you pay for your own schooling.

Where do you work?

Can you recommend me?

Come in.

- Nice.

Small room. Make yourself at home.

Your roommate might not approve.

- You mean Gerry? Don't mind him.

Always goes home to his family.

Better for me. l have the room all to myself.

- How about you? Where's your family?

Family?

Didn't know my father.

Here. My mom.

Ran out on me after this picture was taken.

l was 12 when she showed up again.

She wanted to take me from

my grandma, but l refused.

After grandma died, l learned to be on my own.

Here.

- Wow, man! This is great.

lt's old but it still works.

Just buy a new SlM card.

Thanks! - l told you before

that l work in a spa. Not true.

lt's a massage parlor for gays.

So that's why you got lots of money.

- Close the door.

- You really need a job?

- Yes.

Close the door, and l'll teach

you how to do massage.

- You sure it's just massage?

- Yes.

Take off your clothes.

- Huh?

This is strictly professional?

- Strictly professional.

Hurry up!

- l'm ready.

Alright then.

There are two kinds of massage.

Shiatsu. And Swedish.

Shiatsu's all about finger pressure.

Oriental style. Like this.

Feels good!

You knead the body's

pressure points. Like this!

Swedish is the Western style.

Long strokes. Like this.

That's nice.

- Or circular strokes.

Plus, a little slapping.

Now, this is the most

important sensual massage.

l'll teach you.

Hey, what are you doing?

l'll show you what the guests enjoy the most.

You really need to do that?

- This is how you make good money.

Wait, you'll wake up Mr. Happy!

Shut up. Keep still.

What's that?

This is what the guests want.

You need to learn this.

What the hell are you doing?

- Stop laughing. l'm teaching you properly.

- You woke up Mr. Happy!

This is the proper technique.

We all need to touch,

caress and fondle somebody.

But it's not complete if you're

just the one giving it.

You should be receiving it as well.

Your turn. See if you learned anything.

Like this?

- Don't laugh. Do it right.

ls this the right pressure?

- A little harder.

- Like this?

- There. You're a fast learner.

You taught me well.

There's something you need to

know about the job.

Not every customer wants a massage.

Others are in it for the extra service.

Are you ready to have sex with them?

Extra service?

l can't do it. l'll find anotherjob.

You don't need to do everything.

- Huh?

- You need a job, right?

- Yes.

You don't need to have sex with the customer.

Not every masseur does the 'sing and dance.'

What's that?

Oral sex and anal sex.

No. l really can't. This job's not for me.

You don't need to do it. There's another way.

We call it 'Laila Dee.'

What's Laila Dee? - You just lie down

and let the customer do what he wants.

You're good-looking.

You won't run out of customers.

You think so?

- You'll get the hang of it.

Are you a Laila Dee?

- When l was new.

Been doing this for two years.

This is my third spa already.

lt's work, nothing personal.

You work, you earn money.

For every P500 paid to the spa,

we only get P50.

So we really need the extra service.

And how much is that?

Depends on what you agree on.

Could be P1 ,000. P2,000 or P3,000.

lf the customer is happy, you could get lucky.

Take him out!

- lt wasn't me!

You didn't turn over the money. A**hole!

Stop that, please. We have customers.

Sir Tong, have pity on Enzo.

Keep out of this. Get back inside.

You're stealing from us. F*** you!

Think you could fool us?

This is what you deserve.

Take him away.

Get in!

- Where are they taking him?

- Don't ask.

- Heavenly Touch?

- Yes.

l'm your guardian angel here.

Listen, everyone!

l hate it when you treat me like a fool.

Never ever steal from me if you don't

want to get hurt like Enzo.

- Mama O.

- Wait.

Go ahead.

l said, listen!

Or l'll shove that phone down your throat!

- Sorry, sir!

Keep it out of my sight.

F*** you all!

The stay-in among you must

work your asses off.

l've given you shelter. l feed you.
