Coming Home

Directed by: Adolfo Alix, Jr.

It is Salve’s dream for her children to live happily after working hard to raise them alone. Now in her daughter Sally’s wedding, she feels she has accomplished that seeing her children giving tribute to her. Unknown to her, a big surprise awaits when they arrived home. An unconscious man is in their gate. Salve is quite familiar who the man is. She can never forget him – he is the man who left him years ago for another woman – her husband Benny. And to the shock of her children, Salve accepts Benny and even helps him get well.

Now that Benny has come back, it will open a Pandora’s box of emotions and secrets that will test the relationship of the whole Librada family as each of them also are wrestling problems of their own: Neb is still missing after his ship was ransacked by pirates abroad; Yuri is having a relationship with a married woman; and even Sally tries to hide that she is in an abusive relationship. What is the real reason why Salve is doing all of this? What follows is an emotional ride of situations that will attest to the real strength of every Filipino family and proves that in time of test, family is best.
