For years, Roger has depended on his bicycle to go to his place of work in Metro Manila, and from there to safely pedal his way back home to his family in the outskirts of the city. "Kadena" chronicles how Roger moves along and lives through the monstrous sprawl that is Metro Manila-from the grunts of its monumental traffic jams to the glitzy hiss of its malls and skyscrapers. This is Roger on how the city has changed before his eyes, on how the desperate have tried to turn it into a place of refuge and the poor aspired for resilience amid its unending squalor. The film narrates two lives on the road chained to each other: that of the city and Roger's.
