BOREDOM, wild curiosity, and a misplaced sense of adventure can be self-destructive and harm others. “The Escort Wife”, a Vivamax original movie directed by Paul Basinillo, will show just how.
Janelle Tee (“Kinsenas, Katapusan”, “Putahe”, “Secrets”) plays Patricia, a pretty housewife who is also pretty bored. Stuck at home, she spends hours watching people through her window. She is still in her late 20s and just like most women her age, she also craves for adventure. During one of her window escapades, she catches a beautiful woman having steamy sex in the apartment across the street. Because of her curiosity, Patricia becomes the other woman’s stalker.
That woman is Chrissy, played by Ava Mendez (“Pornstar 2: Pangalawang Putok,” “Ang Babaeng Nawawala Sa Sarili”, “Eva,” “Purificacion”). Chrissy wants to quit being a prostitute, finish her studies, have a high-paying decent job and become rich just like the men she goes to bed with. One of her clients happens to be Patricia’s husband, Roy (Raymond Bagatsing).
Roy comes from an elite family and works as a doctor. The intimacy he should be sharing with Patricia is diverted to Chrissy. When Patricia discovers their secret affair, her fury is out of control.
The Escort Wife is written and produced by the award-winning filmmaker Yam Laranas.
Janelle Tee teased about this movie with an Instagram post of Raymond Bagatsing giving her a back hug last July 3, followed by a solo photo of herself as Patricia two days later. Comments show that her followers are all looking forward to this film.
This is the second directorial movie of Paul Basinillo after the musical drama movie “Indak”. Direk Paul is best known for directing concerts and TV series produced by Viva.
“The Escort Wife” is coming out on Vivamax on September 16, 2022. (PR)
