&lt;div&gt;Mansos, G. M. (2014). Serum, Unpublished Undergraduate Thesis, University of the &lt;br /&gt;
Philippines College of Mass Communication &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serum tells the cyclical story of Namo, a law enforcer in a dystopian society that bans the existence of the homosexuals. In his society, there exists a serum that allegedly &lt;br /&gt;
normalizes these homosexuals. Despite him being a closet gay and while hiding his gay &lt;br /&gt;
lover inside their abode, he continues to be the law enforcer who will soon face a bitter &lt;br /&gt;
reality not only for himself, but also for those like him. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The film is about the unending battle between religion and sexuality. This battle always rages towards the cycle of arguments, doubts, contemplation and compromise. It &lt;br /&gt;
is mainly associated with the intrapersonal perspective, molded by a governing &lt;br /&gt;
institution, such as the church. Yet, at the same time, it captures the inevitable decision &lt;br /&gt;
that social norm will always break its way into the ideals of the closet - usually forcing &lt;br /&gt;
the closet open with the person inside brought to unknown. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The film takes the form of a cyclical narrative, with the experimentation on sound &lt;br /&gt;
and editing in order to achieve a phenomenological play of the senses, in order to disrupt &lt;br /&gt;
the audience from the film, and feel the filmmaker&#039;s motive towards the overall theme. &lt;br /&gt;
