Julio Orphaned at a young age, Tikboy (Rafael Rosell) was under her aunt Lukrays (Isabel Lopez) wings together with her live-in-partner Abdon (Julio Diaz). Aunt Lukray is an aging prostitute while Abdon is a corrupt and fraudulent policeman who also happens to be a drug pusher, with Tikboy as his delivery boy or batang “Tulak”. Together they are situated at a narrow alley called Kalye Walang BuhaY’ where most residents are immoral, criminal and drug addicts.
Tikboy, despite his young age of nine was maltreated by Abdon. Synonymously his Aunt Lokray was then maltreated too by Abdon. One time, when Tikboy tries to save her Aunt from the hands of Abdon, he got badly wounded, forcing him to leave for the outside world. Several years later, Tikboy has become a grown man, but as an ex-convict. Apparently, all he wanted to do is to save his Aunt from Abdon. The following events showed how Tikboy saves his Aunt and how they continued their lives ith help from other people at their side.
I might say the film “Tulak” is good for a independent film. Despite being an independent one, the cast of the film was filled with talented stars. Every star on the film made their roles bloom. Their acting was magnificent in their own way. The places that were used in the movie were well chosen. It was very fit for the story. The effects were also good. Overall, the film just wants to tell us that we must do all our parts in fighting drugs. The film is great for everybody to watch, especially for the youth.
