Piolo Pascual as Paco: A Journey into the Abyss
Piolo Pascual, one of the Philippines’ most celebrated actors, takes on the challenging role of Paco in “Real Life Fiction.” The film delves into the dark recesses of an actor’s mind as Paco, a veteran of the entertainment industry, decides to write, direct, and star in a movie that ultimately brings him closer to his own demise.
