      [introduction]
      1985, the year before President Marcos was deposed in the EDSA revolution. Amid the unstable social climate, a child is kidnapped. The terms for the release of the child is the snatching of another child as a hostage exchange. A young father agonizes over whether he should commit a crime in order to save the life of his only son…. “SWAP”, the third film by director Remton Siega ZUASOLA, is based on his own experience of being abducted and safely released when he was a child though he has no recollection of it. The film is shot in one, long take from beginning to end. Moreover, it manages the superb feat of moving freely in time and space during that duration. The various aspects encompassing the tumultuous state of the Philippines at the time is quite interesting, even more than the circumstances of the kidnapping itself.
