Twilight Dancers is the last installment of director Mel Chionglo and writer Ricky Lee’s trilogy about Macho Dancers. The first part was Sibak: Midnight Dancers in 1994, and the second part was Burlesk King in 1999. The trilogy took inspiration from Lino Brocka's film Macho Dancer in 1988. Dwight is a dancer who loses the girl he loves to a politician’s son. Alfred is past his prime and is kicked out of the club. Bert has long given up dancing and is now the bodyguard-driver of Madame Loca, a corrupt yet jolly businesswoman. She pushes the three dancers to fight for survival, and to finally confront issues of love, friendship and betrayal.
