Before Sunrise meets Love Hard in this romance comedy about a Filipino history teacher and a Canadian-Filipino urban architect exploring Manila in search of lost love—and falling in love along the way.
Sophia Eunice “Piayaya” Hermosa, (now former) Philippine history teacher and a believer of meant-to-be, is on a plane back home to Manila after being ghosted by her Canadian boyfriend (whom she uprooted her life for) just as she arrived in Vancouver, Canada.
Raphael Alfonso “Rafal” Herbert, urban housing architect and artist, is going home to his father’s homeland, Philippines, to chase after the girl who ghosted him—and convince her of his love.
By some miracle of the romance comedy gods, Sophia and Raphael meet on the plane bound for Manila and strike a bargain to help each other with their respective ghost-ers. Raphael will pretend to be her fiancé at her brother’s wedding, and Sophia will drive him around the city to look for the girl he loves.
