The film Lilet Never Happened is a character driven story about Lilet, a maladjusted Filipino-American street-girl, who becomes Manila's most famous child prostitute. International social worker Gloria desperately tries to safe Lilet from the sex industry but she fails again and again. Though Lilet gets many opportunities to quit, she stubbornly chooses the hard way. The film is aiming for a broad arthouse audience. Even though the story is shown through the point of view of Filipino children, the film is very accessible. A clear and engaging storyline is combined with humor and hard hitting scenes, which are alternated with high pace. Style-wise the film could be compared to films like City of God and Slumdog Millionaire.
