In the movie "Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros: The blossoming of Maximo Oliveros"
some of its scenes were presented with the use of Diegesis. But before we jump off to the examples, let's know first the story of the film.
So the story is about a boy named MAXIMO or " Maxie". He grew up on a family whose source of living is doing illegal things such as snatching, but despite of it, his father Paco, played by Soliman Cruz, and two elder brothers, Boy and Bogs Oliveros, accepted him as a homosexual.

by two of his neighboors, then a policeman by the name of Victor Perez played by JR Valentin saved him, and since then Maxie had a huge crush on him.

Then the conflicts came when Maxie's crush, Victor, is investigating his family about their illegal activities and also about a murder case.
Now moving on to DIEGESIS technique.
If you haven't seen the movie yet, which I suggets that you should because the storyline is really interesting and the film itself is good, one very noticeable Diegesis is when Maxie's brother, Boy, killed
someone.
It is not really shown in the movie how or who Bogs killed, what was shown is that Boy went home looking nervous with
blood stains on his shirt.
By that scene alone, the viewers would automatically understand that the character of Boy committed something bad or perhaps killed someone.
Scene from the movie when the whole Oliveros Family knew
about the crime committed by Boy.
Moving on, another example is when Maxie got back to school, the scene was established when Maxie's kuya Bogs, helped him out in putting on his school uniform. It was not shown that Maxie was in school but it would already be understood that he did came back to school.
So that is what Diegesis is, now try to watch the movie and look for another examples of Diegesis.
