About This Movie

Smaller and Smaller Circles is a gripping exploration of morality and justice set against the gritty backdrop of Payatas. The film immerses you in a world of despair, where the lives of impoverished communities collide with the horrifying reality of a serial killer targeting young boys. Raya Martin creates an atmosphere thick with tension, using the haunting sounds of the dump and the stark visuals to evoke a sense of dread. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of the narrative to sink in while the Jesuit priests navigate their own faith amidst the chaos. The performances are raw and compelling, especially as they wrestle with their own beliefs while seeking to uncover the truth. It's a haunting piece that stays with you long after the credits roll.
