Oros (2012): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 2012, Oros is a thriller and drama film directed by Paul Sta. Ana, running about 81 minutes. “Death is a treasure.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. The film set in a decadent world where even death becomes a provider. In a country where a cadaver may serve as license for holding a sakla operation (illegal gambling) in wakes, people may exploit the dead in order to generate income from the profits of gambling, and possibly pay for its burial. In Oros, a funeral parlor owner sells an unidentified body to Makoy, a kasero in a saklaan, who, along with his reluctant brother, Abet, set the stage for a three-week long fake wake holding the illegal saklaan. The sakla personnel deals with everyone involved, including Linda, an impoverished homeowner, as they agree upon a fictional story which will “legitimize” the wake.

Who’s in it. Oros stars Tanya Gomez, Kristoffer Martin and Kristoffer King.
