Takaw tukso

It's a tale of two couples trying to come to terms with the hell that's starting to burn between them. After an exasperating fight with her mother, Debbie decides to leave home and elopes with Boy, the cousin of her boyfriend, Nestor. They get married and stay in the house where Boy and Nestor live, distressing Nestor even more. Debbie's friend, Letty, has been in love with Nestor for a long time and she seizes the opportunity to get closer to him. After a night of sex, they tie the knot and live in a room next to Boy and Debbie's. Tension among the four ensues-carnal between Debbie and Nestor, fraternal between Nestor and Boy, and belligerent between Debbie and Letty-and it's only a matter of time when the house becomes too small for them and fire starts to spread like domino pieces falling on top of one another.
