Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Shelve it next to An Officer and a Gentleman.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 50 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Tragedy strikes when the helicopter that Nick is riding suddenly crashes on a remote island and authorities reported no survivors. The apparent death of Nick caused great grief to Vanessa, a socialte already betrothed to the young man. On the remote island, Nick meets Dr. Mallari, a marine biologist. Because of his memory loss, Nick introduces himself as Darwin. Dr. Mallari takes Darwin to his home, where he introduces his daughter, Diosa, a beautiful painter. Darwin admits that he cannot recall his past and Diosa initially doubted his story. However, as time passes by, the two develop feelings for each other and have a child together. Darwin becomes involved in another accident that triggers the return of his past memories. He remembers that he is a wealthy businessman named Nick who is about to marry his beloved girlfriend Vanessa. With the return of his memory, Darwin's identity as well as Diosa and their child no longer exist in Nick's recollection.
