a very unusual story about an adoptive son

The story and direction of the movie is truly brilliant! This is one of the most HEARTBREAKING STORY i have ever heard and seen.I never thought adopting a child could be such a complicated one. The story is not made to be a HEAVY DRAMA. It has no intention of making you cry and yet, you will find yourself shedding bucket of tears-- even if you can~t identify with the protagonist. The story is simple and unassuming but turns out so be so unusually sad! You should not miss this movie.

Its different, unique, unthinkable and yet you know its so true.

This is one of the best movie of Maricel Soriano and NIDA Blanca. Their acting is prowess has been never displayed this way--EVER! CAST IS Wonderful AND YES, PERFECT! The Original soundtrack is also a killer:) True tear jerker movie, bring tissue please.
