## Synopsis

The Man in Selya's Life is a 1997 controversial Filipino drama film directed by Carlos Siguion-Reyna and written by his wife, Bibeth Orteza. Starring Rosanna Roces, Ricky Davao, and Gardo Versoza, the story follows a woman who confronts her own prejudice among the community of intolerant, bigoted, and homophobic gossipers when she chooses between two men: a high school principal who is a closeted gay man and a man who wants more commitment with her. It is the second and last film of Rosanna Roces with Reyna Films and one of the films directed by Carlos Siguion-Reyna that bravely features taboo topics in Philippine cinema.
