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

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for anyone in the mood for a love story and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Leaves you with something to think about. Same wavelength as An Officer and a Gentleman.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr 10 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Loving husband Lino is on a mission: his wife, who works as a domestic in Milan, is missing and he's determined to find her. To do so, he enters Italy illegally and takes cover as one of the hundreds of Filipino migrant workers who make their way to Europe.
