Dare to Fulfill Your Dreams!
There is only one person who stands in the way of fulfilling your dreams: you. Anyone who tries to be an obstacle to your dreams is probably not someone you'd want to be in a relationship with. The person you do want to be in a relationship with is someone who believes in you; not only will they not stand in your way, they'll encourage and empower you to do whatever it takes to make your dreams come true.
Ethan is a young, hot-shot producer of shows. He's eagerly awaiting a promotion to production manager, that he feels that he's entitled to and has earned. However, to his disappointment, the job is given to someone else. He's told that the one area he's not very good with, is working with people. He's sent to Bacolod, a small town where he's told that if he can produce a successful show, then he will get the production manager job.
Audrey is a warm, caring young woman who dreams of making shows. She uses her small video camera to record everything for her boyfriend, Tristan, who has been comatose from an accident for over 150 days.
We learn that before the accident Audrey had a chance to go to Manila to learn about making shows. Tristan, of course, objected. In fact, we quickly find out that Tristan is a very controlling boyfriend who spends much of his time telling Audrey, "what to do" and "what not to do." However, it is clear that Audrey loves him...until she sees love for what it truly is!
Love is never about control. It is never about possession. It is about giving the other person the freedom and the space to be who they are. Ethan shows Audrey this type of love. Audrey, of course, is torn between her newfound love for Ethan and being true to Tristan.
Now, one might think that things become a bit cliched at this point, but that doesn't really happen. What makes this story work so well is that Ethan demonstrates and unconditional and selfless character who will simply do the mature thing; the right thing. They say that love conquers all. Well, Ethan is certainly an example of this.
There are a number of touching moments throughout the film, and I love the fact that Tristan is shown as being a "bad" guy. He's not. Despite his ignorance, it's hard not to sympathize with him.
The performances are all first-rate, and you end up feeling good about having watched this film. While many people believe that love is about being true to your partner, it's even more important to be true to yourself. And never let anyone or anything stand in the way of your dreams!
