Here, we don’t see the classic familial love that’s become a timeless tool in winning viewers over. Instead, we see things get ugly within the family, highlighting the complex dynamics within the unit. Executive Producer Ogie Diaz notes that this is no ordinary family film.

For actress Susan Africa, the toxicity within the De Dios family started with her character playing favorites with her children.“I think as a mother, she did not make a mistake, but it was a mother’s instinct to take care of the weaker one because he was an addict, he was insecure, and because maybe Arsenio was stable, he had an education,” she shared with Rappler.
