Here, people will understand the life of the many Filipino migrant workers of Italy.
It is a love story of a young man named Lino (Piolo Pascual)who comes to Milan,Italy so find his missing wife whom he terribly misses. In order to do this, he joins a large group of illegal Filipinos who manage to escape to Italy through the Swiss border. Arriving in Milan, he meets a young Filipina domestic helper who passes for a beautiful Italian woman named Jenny(Claudine Barretto) and asks for her help. Through her, he gets to know the way of life in Italy as a Filipino migrant worker and the discriminations he has to face from the society of discriminating Italians and Italo-Filipinos, although he fails finding his wife. As he gets used to this, he falls in love with Jenny and together they experience the sweetness of life. But as time goes by, troubles occur and they have to decide whether they really belong to each other or not.
This story, although not very masterfully made, has a beautiful and romantic plot. Dedicated to the masses of Filipino workers in Italy, this is what I can call a classic related to the Filipino migrant worker. A must see for modern Filipino romance movie lovers.
