Ricardo (Robert Arevalo) is an arrogant self-made tycoon who has well and truly forgotten his humble beginnings. But years of high living and a series of poor financial decisions have caused his fortune to dwindle to practically nothing. One of the few properties he still owns is Tondo, the tenement he grew up in — and so, he moves back into the crumbling apartment block he left behind. Vibrant, funny, and doggedly optimistic, WHERE I AM KING mixes fish-out-of-water comedy with serious questions about what we owe to the society we live in.
Teshya Alo is 16-years-old and 125 pounds. But on the judo and wrestling mats, she throws women twice her age and pounds heavier. And she beats boys. Now, she has her sights set on taking gold at both the 2013 judo and wrestling world championships. If she does, she’d be the first and youngest person ever to win world championships in two different sports in the same year. But it won’t be easy.

After failing his university entrance exams, Yuki Hirano decides to enter a one-year forestry program, prompted by a brochure with a cute girl on the cover. He winds up in Kamusari, a backwater village nestled deep in the mountains, far beyond civilization and mobile phone coverage. There, he meets Iida, a combination of mountain boy scout, dreamboat, and wildman. Alongside Iida, Yuki finds himself embracing the dream of forging a fresh green life--and finding the girl from the brochure.
