The Filipino film industry is turning up the heat this week with four brand-new adult drama releases.
These movies explore themes of love, betrayal, emotional turmoil, and sexuality — all wrapped in bold and passionate storytelling.
Be warned: these films are strictly for mature audiences.
1. Kandungan – A Love Triangle Fueled by Lies and Lust
Kandungan tells the story of Ye-jin and Tae-seok, a couple who stage a fake divorce to lower their taxes.
To make the scheme more believable, Tae-seok enters a sham marriage with a beautiful undocumented immigrant named Seo-yool.
What starts as a clever tax dodge soon spirals into something dangerous — Seo-yool falls in love for real and begins to fantasize about a life without Ye-jin standing in the way.
This film is an erotic drama packed with tension, jealousy, and emotional intensity — perfect for those who enjoy forbidden love stories with unexpected twists.
2. Maalikaya – Desire and Darkness Behind Bars
Maalikaya follows Kara, a young inmate who discovers her hidden desires while serving time in prison.
She meets Lila, another prisoner portrayed by Jenn Rosa, who awakens new feelings and gives Kara a sense of purpose. But her haunting past continues to cast a long shadow over her new life.
Raw, intimate, and emotional, Maalikaya dives deep into identity, self-acceptance, and the power of connection in the most unlikely places.
