Expanding on the concepts and scenes of “Overdosed Nightmare”, “Mondomanila” deals with life in the slums of Manila, through the stories of a number of hardcore misfits. The protagonist is Tony D, a teenager who has a very a concise opinion about the government, and is not afraid to express it in the most cross way, at least when he is not drunk or under the influence of drugs. The rest of the protagonists include his sex-addict mother, Mariya, Lovely Loanshark, a gambling addict, Sgt Pepper, a policeman who was discharged from the force and has now placed his hopes for a contribution to society on his son, who happens to be a homosexual. Steve Banners, an old American who happens to be a raging racist and a pederast, Ogo X, a malformed rapper, and many more comprise this extreme collage of characters.

Seattle — Michael Henrichsen has ideas about how he might celebrate his 26th birthday this week.
First, Billy Idol rolls up in a limo and tells him to hop in. There are women everywhere. And later, when the British rock icon takes the stage and rips into "Rebel Yell," bras start flying and 1,800 of his closest friends go wild.

"This is surreal," Henrichsen says. "It should not be happening."
So why is it? In his bedroom, surrounded by Cyndi Lauper and Madonna records, a drumstick he picked up at an Idol show two years ago, and rock posters, Henrichsen explains:
In October 2010, he had just turned 24 and...
