<p>Can you feel the mother-off tension heating up? Vice Ganda and Nadine Lustre are more than ready to serve as they face off for the ultimate mom crown, as seen in the official trailer of the 51st Metro Manila Film Festival entry “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/films/2025/10/10/vice-ganda-nadine-lustre-face-off-in-call-me-mother-official-teaser-1600" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Call Me Mother</a>”.

Cayanan, Daniel S. Saniana, and Lana himself, the film is a co-production between ABS-CBN Film Productions Inc., The IdeaFirst Company, and Viva Communications Inc. The story follows Vice Ganda as Twinkle, a single queer mom whose long-awaited adoption of her son gets shaken when the biological mother, played by Nadine Lustre, suddenly reenters the frame.  </p><p>What happens when two mothers claim the same child in two very different ways?
