Sex scenes showed in the movie are less than one would expect, and the story itself tackles about the immorality of actions brought by money aside from that on the context of having affairs with the same sex or outside marriage. This love triangle story of Dante (Paolo Paraiso), Abi (Katherine Luna), and Jonathan (Arnold Reyes) creates a feeling of disturbance to its viewers as it leaves a question to be answered, “When is an act considered immoral?”
The movie Imoral begins with the couple Dante and Abi searching for a new apartment where they could stay. Eventually, they found one, but introduced to their landlady Jonathan, an engineer and the gay lover of Dante, and Abi as husband and wife, and Dante as Jonathan’s cousin.
