Sexy comedy Pathirsty, which now streams on Vivamax, is a rom-com that “normalizes” queer romance.
The film is led by up-and-coming stars Adrianna So and Kych Minemoto who both received acting recognition after being a part of a hit web series, co-starring one of the most desired young actors of today, Alex Diaz. It is directed by Ivan Payawal (Game Boys).
From the same universe of the hit BL franchise, Pearl (Adrianna) and Achilles (Kych) are besties who are both suffering from the heartache of their failed relationships. While Achilles clings to alcohol and uses social media to vent out his feelings, Pearl tries her best to ignore her pain and enjoys herself as she fools around and has these so-called “sexcapades.”
Wanting her best friend to be happy after his social media meltdowns, Pearl plays cupid and tries to find the perfect dream guy for Achilles. And so, they meet Ali (Alex), a handsome young man with a perfectly toned body who is also rich and is an heir to his father’s business empire.
Achilles and Ali immediately click, and Pearl pats herself on the back as she becomes the matchmaker for what looked like a perfectly happy ending for her best friend. But things start to get a little complicated when Pearl realizes that she is also catching feelings for Ali.
As the three of them find themselves in an untangled web and an unfortunate love triangle, who will end up with Ali? Will it be “friendship over” for Pearl and Achilles? Join this crazy trio as they figure out the value of love and relationships through a wild and chaotic adventure.
Joining Adrianna, Kych, and Alex in the movie are Chad Kinis, Bob Jbeili, and Kate Alejandrino.
