The unexpected reunion of childhood sweethearts in adulthood is a journey of rediscovery and emotions. Memories of shared moments flood back, evoking nostalgia and sparking overwhelming joy, confusion, and excitement.
Sometimes, the spark of childhood romance reignites, offering a second chance at love, while other times, their friendship is renewed, becoming a steadfast anchor in adult life. But what if there were challenges due to life complexities or existing relationships?
American romantic drama Past Lives, the directorial debut of writer-director Celine Song and stars Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, and John Magaro, navigates this emotional terrain with delicacy.
A must-watch movie of the year, Past Lives opened in Philippine cinemas on August 30 after capturing the hearts of audiences and critics worldwide.
Past Lives is a heartrending modern romance that follows the story of two deeply connected childhood friends who drifted apart.
