Vice Ganda takes on the role of Bambi, a selfless and confidently beautiful Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) whose journey back to her hometown after years abroad is anything but smooth.

In a powerful portrayal, Vice Ganda brings her signature comedic flair while also delving into the more profound emotional depths of her character. Fans can anticipate tender moments as she reunites with her family, only to find that they are weighed down by burdens and debts that threaten their dreams.

A standout feature of the film is the much-anticipated pairing of Vice Ganda and award-winning actress Eugene Domingo. Their previous collaborations have showcased an undeniable chemistry that fans are eager to see once again. During the film’s grand kick-off and poster reveal event, Vice Ganda shared her emotional connection to the story, stating, “Ang storya niya masyadong personal.

Naisigaw ko para sa breadwinners, naiiyak ko ‘yung matagal nilang kinimkim.” This confirms that audiences can expect genuine and heartfelt performances that explore the depth of sacrifice and resilience.
