"A masterwork. Opens new vistas in the future of the cinema.” The New Yorker
Isabel, a 17-year-old from the rural north of the Philippines, works at an elite country club outside Manila, lining up golf balls for powerful men. New to the job of tee-girl, she wanders the immaculate grounds sampling the club’s luxuries as its members engage in a complex dance with the doting and subservient staff. But something is rotting beneath the pristine fairways, as Isabel discovers when she tries to return a mislaid golf club to its patriarchal director, Dr. Palanca. The deeper she journeys into its most exclusive corners, the closer she gets to the violent truths of the club, her native Philippines, and her own past.
The debut feature from Rafael Manuel, it won the World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award for Creative Vision at Sundance 2026 and reveals a major new filmmaking talent.
Relaxed Daytime Cinema (RDC) is a new daytime Cube project, for people who appreciate a relaxed, quieter movie experience on a weekday. We provide RDC for a variety of reasons, including for people who want more space from others, for neurodivergent people and assistants, friends and family.
The Cube provides lowered movie volume and extra lighting in the auditorium. Our bar/cafe has a wide range of beverages and soft drinks at reasonable prices. Tea or coffee, and occasionally also cake, are available for free at RDC. There will always be a friendly Front of House on hand to help.

Free tickets are available for personal assistants - you can book a PA ticket with your paid ticket on the door at our relaxed screenings.
