( Star Cinema ) brings you this generation ’ s biggest drama flick , “ Seven Sundays ” screening in key countries worldwide via TFC @ theMovies starting this October 21 .
From the makers of one of Philippine cinema ’ s iconic drama films “ Tanging Yaman ” in 2000 , comes the story of four estranged siblings thrown back together by their father ’ s dying wish – to spend their time together in his last “ Seven Sundays ”.
Directed by one of the industry ’ s most widely known directors behind the biggest romantic-comedy hits , Cathy Garcia-Molina , “ Seven Sundays ” gathers some of the finest actors the Philippine entertainment industry has produced : critically acclaimed Ronaldo Valdez , actor-director Dingdong Dantes ; teen heartthrob Enrique Gil , multitalented actress Cristine Reyes , and timeless heartthrob Aga Muhlach to portray the lead roles .
In the story , Valdez is Manuel , is a man who learns of his demise but sees it as a chance to bring his family back together . Muhlach is the eldest son Allan who may not have succeeded in his career but continues to be the family favorite in the eyes his siblings . Dantes is Bryan , the most successful of the family who has resented the fact that despite his success , seems to get the least attention . Reyes is Cha , the only girl in the brood of four and who has not really been lucky in love and life . Gil is Dex , the youngest and most detached by virtue of his age and principles .
As they are forced to be together for their father ’ s last few weeks , the siblings are reminded of the very reasons they fell apart and both comedy and chaos ensue .
Apart from the stellar ensemble , the movie also marks the much-awaited
screening in countries worldwide via TFC @ theMovies comeback of Muhlach after his last romantic drama “ In The Name Of Love ” with box office royalty Angel Locsin in 2011 .
The movie also marks the nth movie of Dantes , a Star Cinema regular who recently brought in a box office hit via “ The Unmarried Wife ” together with prime ABS-CBN star Angelica Panganiban in 2016 .
Gil , who is proving to be one of the younger actors to reckon with after his performance in “ Dukot ”, is also marking his reunion with Garcia-Molina after their highly successful “ My Ex And Whys ” shown February of this year .
“ Seven Sundays ” is also Reyes ’ return to the silver screen after her unforgettable cameo in the super blockbuster hit “ Girl , Boy , Bakla , Tomboy ”, top-billed by phenomenal star Vice Ganda in 2013 .
Lastly , Valdez , a celebrated leading man back in his days , was last seen in the romance film “ All You Need Is Pag-ibig ” in 2015 but is most known in recent years for his endearing performance in the film “ The Mistress ” alongside This Generation ’ s Movie Queen Bea Alonzo in 2012 .
All under the helm of Garcia Molina , the stars experience the transformative magic under the blockbuster director . Garcia-Molina said : “ Just like in love stories , iisa lang ang sinasabi , pero ang daming porma . Maaari mo siyang bihisan … also with the family drama or dramedy . I hope this one touches your life again ( Just like in love stories , this piece has a lot to it . There are many facets to it which we can guise differently . So with this family drama , I was able to make it into a dramedy . I hope this one touches your life again )”.
Witness them all in “ Seven Sundays ” and see if they can last each , to the last reunion . Apart from being a cinematic masterpiece , “ Seven Sundays ” will remind viewers that not all families are perfect and that every member has his own individuality .
