Mika andCaloy get to know each other as the two embark on a road trip filled with adventures and misadventures. In the process, the two unexpectedly teach each other an important lesson on love and life one that takes most people a lifetime to learn.
Garcia and Barretto are two of the most talented and most sought after young artists in ABS-CBN today. Their debut project as a love team, ”Vince And Kath And James” was graded A by the Cinema Evaluation Board of the Philippines and it broke box-office records in last year’s Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).
Garcia’s acting career on TV was propelled to heights when he became part of the powerhouse cast of the afternoon series The Greatest Love. Likewise, his praise-worthy performance as Vince in ”Vince and Kath and James” earned him a Best Actor nomination in the 2016 MMFF.
Philippine It-girl Julia, on the other hand, is making waves as part of the stellar ensemble cast of ABS-CBN’s top-rating primetime series, ”A Love To Last.”
As Caloy and Mika respectively, Garcia and Barretto are set to make the entire country fall in love once again with their remarkable tandem, this time in an unexpected love that will surely inspire and enthrall moviegoers of all ages.
Be part of Caloy’s and Mika’s journey and find out what it really takes to bet on love in a world where nothing seems to last forever.
