The actors in the film deeply care about and advocate for autism awareness because they have people close to them who are in the autism spectrum.
Netflix’s Keys to the Heart, which shines a light on the subject of autism, stars Elijah Canlas, Dolly de Leon and Zanjoe Marudo. The family film is the Filipino adaptation of South Korea’s 2018 movie of the same title.
In a roundtable interview, Zanjoe told The STAR that the theme about autism is something that he could connect with. When she learned about the role, she felt a deep connection to it. “I have two siblings on the autism spectrum. I advocate for autism awareness and inclusivity,” she shared. Elijah, on the other hand, said there are several topics about family that he could relate to. “I always feel like Keys to the Heart is the perfect Filipino film, especially now because it has everything. It has drama, family, sports, music and I love all of that.”
In terms of adapting, what was most important for direk Kerwin was to make it fresh yet relatable for Filipino viewers, while keeping the essence of the original material intact.
