In the family-oriented comedy flick, middle-aged Ron (Vic) and Andrea (Dawn) Balatbat stay together and raise a family, despite their arranged marriage. Eventually, they break up and look for other partners. Distraught by their parents’ separation, the kids vow to do whatever it takes to make Ron and Andrea fall in love with each other.

Vic said: “It’s my first time to do a serious movie that’s funny, too. No effects, no fantasy. It’s all about the realities of relationships and families.”—ALLAN POLICARPIO
