Before Sunrise meets Love Hard in this romance comedy about a Filipino history teacher and a Canadian-Filipino urban architect exploring Manila in search of lost love-and falling in love along the way

Before Sunrise meets Love Hard in this RomCom set on a walking tour of Manila, Philippines.

Sophia Eunice "Piayaya" Hermosa, (now former) Philippine history teacher and a believer of meant-to-be, is on a plane back home to Manila after being ghosted by her Canadian boyfriend (whom she uprooted her life for) just as she arrived in Vancouver, Canada.

Raphael Alfonso "Rafal" Herbert, urban housing architect and artist, is going home to his father's homeland, Philippines, to chase after the girl who ghosted him-and convince her of his love.

By some miracle of the romance comedy gods, Sophia and Raphael meet on the plane bound for Manila and strike a bargain to help each other with their respective ghost-ers. Raphael will pretend to be her fiance at her brother's wedding and Sophia will drive him around the city to look for the girl he loves.

As they search for closure from their failed relationships and tour Manila along the way, it won't be long until they find out that they're exactly where they're meant to be- with each other.
