Every relationship starts with a beautiful beginning.
A woman who never knew love until he met him.

When a relationship is bound to end, will you fight for it and stay?
Or will you choose to walk away?

Paolo “Powie” Barredo (Gerald Anderson) is out to prove to the world that he is not just a son out of wedlock, but that he can succeed in life independently. Though he started out roughly, he soon picked up pace and climbed the ladder of success. But as things started falling into place, other important things in his life had to take a backseat as he experienced the thrill of finally achieving his goal.

Agnes Garcia (Kim Chiu) has always longed for the time when her family will finally be complete again. At the young age of 6, her parents left the country to work abroad – her mother was a medical technician in America, while her father worked as an engineer n Riyadh. Despite the distance, Agnes held tight to the inevitability that she will reunite with her parents once again when she passes the nursing exam and applies to work in the States.

The moment these two saw each other at the café, they couldn’t take their eyes off each other. Their attraction was apparent and it seemed that destiny brought them together. As they got to know the other better, they found solace and comfort in each other’s company. But the security they found in each other soon started to shake when their different life paths take them to different directions. Despite the love they both still have for each other, one must choose to decide when to let go, even if the other is still holding on. –Star cinema

Without a doubt, the plot itself is a good selling point of the movie. I am sure that a lot of people would wish to appreciate the movie as it goes by rather than being preempted with tidbits of spoilers. It’s about adults and them growing up and breaking up. It’s about growing up and moving on.

Seeing Gerald playing a poor character in a movie is something new to me. I always see him as a cool, collected, rich, spoiled brat dude. I have to give him credit for portraying the role very well. He was very mature in this film and very dashing too. It’s as if this role was tailored fit for Gerald Anderson. It showed a different side of him. The only thing I didn’t like in this movie is the ending. Yes, they met again and probably are still in love with each other. It just left too many possibilities of what will happen to them. But I guess that’s what Jose Javier Reyes wanted right? For the audience to decide of how they want to end Agnes and Powie’s love story.
