Synopsis
“Milenyal” unfolds the captivating journey of Justin Dela Vega, an adolescent deeply entrenched in the realms of social media and captivated by conspiracy theories. The narrative is set against the backdrop of an urban, economically disadvantaged community. It commences with Justin’s harrowing nightmare, one that foretells the impending arrival of “The Big One,” a seismic catastrophe slated to devastate Luzon, particularly the bustling Metro Manila. This haunting vision compels Justin to embark on a series of vlogs aimed at alerting the populace. However, this crusade inadvertently propels him into the precarious realm of social media infamy, as he garners a legion of critics and adversaries. It is only on the fateful day when he predicts “The Big One” that Justin discerns a profound truth: an earthquake of a different kind has been silently rocking society for an extended period, and the masses remain blissfully oblivious.
“Mileniyal” marks a groundbreaking achievement as GANAP’s maiden original musical, masterfully scripted and directed by the visionary Agoy Patacsil. This innovative production boasts an enchanting array of predominantly original songs spanning a wide spectrum of musical genres. At its heart, the musical unearths the tumultuous lives of underprivileged urban teenagers ensnared in the omnipresent clutches of social media, all while grappling with a dearth of parental guidance and access to quality education.
