Where Is Francis? is a Filipino film that tackles the issue of teenage drug abuse and the consequences that come with it. The movie revolves around the character of Francis, played by Jeffrey Quizon, a young boy who gets addicted to drugs and subsequently goes missing. The film starts off with a news report about Francis' disappearance, which then prompts his family and friends to search for him. The story is told through the perspectives of different characters, each providing their own insight into Francis' character and their relationship with him.

Paolo Contis plays the role of Francis' best friend, who is also going through his own personal struggles as he tries to help search for Francis. Rico Blanco and Karl Roy play musicians who are influential figures in Francis' life, and their characters add a unique flavor to the film's overall narrative.

Tanya Garcia and Julia Clarete both play members of Francis' family, who are devastated by his disappearance and do everything in their power to find him. Rita Avila and Ricky Davao also make appearances as concerned adults who try to help in the search for Francis.

While the film tackles a serious issue, it still manages to have moments of humor and levity, particularly in scenes featuring Rio Locsin as a quirky psychic hired by Francis' family to help find him.

Mark Gil, in what would be his last film appearance before his death, plays the role of a drug lord who has a direct connection to Francis' addiction. His performance is chilling and serves as a reminder of the harsh realities of drug abuse.

Throughout the film, the audience is taken on a rollercoaster ride of emotions as they watch Francis' family and friends struggle with the uncertainty of his whereabouts. The film's climax is both intense and satisfying as the characters come together to try to save Francis.

Overall, Where Is Francis? is a well-crafted film that addresses a serious issue while still managing to provide moments of lightheartedness. The cast delivers strong performances, with special mention going to Quizon for his portrayal of Francis. The film's message is clear - drug abuse can have devastating consequences, and it's important for those around the individual to step in and help before it's too late.
