About this movie

Elisse Joson plays Bea. Diagnosed with Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID), her body has low levels of protective antibodies, thus making her highly susceptible to various infections. Because of this, Bea does not have the luxury to go places. Her over protective mother Lily (Yayo Aguila) just wants to keep her safe at home. In spite of this, Bea maintains a cheerful disposition. She enjoys being in her own world filled with music, dreams, and imagination. She does live streaming to interact with other people. So, all things considered, Bea is doing good. And with JR around, she's feeling even better. McCoy de Leon is JR, the family's houseboy. Years ago, Bea's nanny took him home after finding him roaming the streets in tears. JR grew up taking life too seriously, even calling himself a "sad boy". But as he learns to loosen up, Bea greatly enjoys his company. She's proud to say that he's the one who truly makes her feel alive. But suddenly, this man whom Bea considers her "safe space" seems to be creating a gap between them. What will become of his promise that they'll be together for a lifetime?
