This film is raw and honest about what happens when those bonds shift from support to pain,” Diaz said in a statement. “We hope it sparks conversations about family, expectations, and the courage to choose one&#x27;s own happiness, even when it means making difficult choices.&quot;The film follows Arsenio (Marudo), a hardworking overseas Filipino worker (OFW) chef who returns home from Dubai to pursue his dream of opening a restaurant, only to find himself caught in painful family conflicts that blur the line between sacrifice and self-interest.CEO Tommie Mopia and Global Artists Entertainment joined forces with Oliver Carnay of International Artists PR and Talent Management to lead the film’s US promotional tour.
