I've watched a few teasers on television regarding Star Cinema's latest
family drama film Seven Sundays. On one teaser there is a brewing conflict
between two siblings while the other introduces the eldest among these siblings,
and it is clear that these two are connected to the story which is why Filipino
movie buffs should watch Seven Sundays with their loved ones. But it is no
ordinary movie that is every Filipino family's story.
The story revolves around three brothers and one sister fulfilling
their father's last request to visit his home within seven weeks and get along
together considering that the patriarch has seven weeks to live due to his ailing
illness. But unbeknownst to the patriarch and movie buffs, the siblings have
their own lives with the eldest one experiencing a situation regarding his
business while tending to his wife who is pregnant for their fourth baby. And
there is more you need to know that you should find out for yourself when you
watch the movie.
Anyway, Seven Sundays will make every movie buff understand the
importance of family bonding and how he or she can cope with their loved ones
in every situation encountered. Not only that, it will also remind us how we
love our family regardless of what we have been through until now. Anyone
should know what it feels like to experience any situation with their family as
their guiding light while watching every touching moment which should be unbearable
in any case or sense.
Directed by master filmmaker Cathy Garcia-Molina, Seven Sundays features
a powerhouse cast that includes Ronaldo Valdez, Dingdong Dantes, Enrique Gil
and Christine Reyes. The movie also happens to be the comeback project for 90s
matinee idol Aga Muhlach which is something that any retro fan should
anticipate. And to top it all, Seven Sundays would mark the beginning of Direk
Cathy's road to retirement which was announced during the film's final
presscon. Garcia-Molina is set to retire from filmmaking in two years in order
to focus on her family life.
