Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for anyone who's ever talked to their pet and romantics. An animal steals a fair few scenes. If you loved Cat People or Wuthering Heights, start here. The chemistry carries it.
The mood
Scary, dark and gritty.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 47 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

Two sisters Lilia and Trining decide to adopt and raise three children: Joven, Ito and Pilar. Now adults, adopted siblings Joven and Pilar end up falling in love with each other. Family drama ensues when more secrets are revealed and resistance is met.
