About This Movie

Marvin, our main guy, is heartbroken and down in the dumps, and then his brother has him try this love potion—yeah, it sounds cheesy, but it kind of works. The setting at 'Siomai Sa Tisa' gives it this charming, street food vibe that feels super local and relatable. The pacing is brisk, which suits the whole love-at-first-sight theme. The performances have this raw, genuine quality, especially with the chemistry between Marvin and the nursing student.
