"Katips" garnered a total of 17 nods in this year's Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences Awards (FAMAS).
On the Facebook page of the Philippine Stagers Foundation, it is described as about "the young, in their fight for their ideals, how big can one get against a force too much bigger than yourself."
"In the midst of uncertainty, there's no other passion that can pull us back to freedom but the burning fire that hides within each of us," it added.
