Naglalayag (Silent Passage) is a 2004 Filipino movie that tells the story of a May–December affair between a middle-aged judge and a young taxi driver. Brilliantly acted by Nora Aunor and Yul Servo, the couple’s story brings to light society’s perceptions of gender, age, and class.

Naglalayag has received nine major awards in the 2004 Manila Film Festival, including Best Story and Best Screenplay, and was also the major winner in the 53rd FAMAS Awards. The film also won for Nora Aunor, Yul Servo, and Maryo J. de los Reyes the best actress, best actor, and Special Jury awards, respectively, at the 2004 Brussels International Independent Film Festival.

Dorinda (Nora Aunor), a state prosecutor turned judge on the edge of a mid-life crisis, finds herself completely alone. Her only son Dennis resides in the US with his wife. She has been a widow for years but lonely she isn’t, she’d always tell everyone. Truth is, she lives an empty life.

Some twist of fate has her meeting Noah (Yul Servo), a young taxi driver who is poles apart from her own social and economic backgrounds. They guy is in mourning after his father, also a cabbie, died in the hands of a hold-up gang.

Dorinda is a judge and menopausal. Noah is a taxi driver and a virile 20-year-old. They don’t fit the equation. But, this what makes their relationship interesting, if not exciting.
