Ilusyon

Set in 1958, ILUSYON tells the story of Miguel, a young man from the countryside, who decides to visit his father, Pablo, a modernist painter in Manila. Upon his arrival, he discovers that his father has decided to leave for the province to heal from depression after the recent death of his wife and Miguel's mother. Miguel opts to stay in Manila for a vacation-- where he finds a job as a house painter and realizes that city life might fit him well. One day, he meets Stella, a nude model originally scheduled to pose for Miguel's father. Struck by her beauty, Miguel does the unthinkable-- he pretends to be his father. He pretends to paint her and hides his doodles from the unwitting Stella. Developing a relationship based on a lie, things turn for the worse when Stella begets a strange skin disease that turns off Miguel.
