Amnesia is trauma experienced by the brain that tends to forget certain memories and that's what Amnesia Love is all about. The mind can forget but not the body. As the month of February ends and for the bitter ones or those who tends to be single or the ones left behind, perhaps it's about time to forget the past and move on but before forgetting it all, Viva Films invites you to join in the fun as award-winning actor Paolo Ballesteros plays a guy trying to discover his true identity in “Amnesia Love”.
Found unconscious by the beach in a remote island in Zambales, the character of Paolo Ballesteros is taken in by a compassionate couple (Lander Vera-Perez and Maricel Morales ). When he wakes up, he cannot remember his name nor anything else. The couple’s daughter (Yam Concepcion) is skeptical about this guy’s condition, but is left with no choice but to let him stay in their home. Romance starts to brew between the two, but this amnesia patient displays some acts that are not exactly manly, and finds himself distracted by the sight of attractive men. When somebody from his past comes to shed light on who and what he really is, will the answers bring him peace or mayhem?

With a Best Actor award each from Tokyo Film Festival and Metro Manila Film Festival under his belt, Ballesteros said in an interview that he wants to keep making movies that would make people think. “Mapag-iisip yung tao…I want a good film na worth yung pagod.”
This outlook is shared by director Albert Langitan, who has worn different hats in the world of local production. He started out as a scriptwriter, then went on to direct reality shows and teleseryes such as Impostora and Super Ma’am. It is interesting to see how Langitan’s creative eye and Ballesteros’ passion for his craft work together to bring viewers a laugh-out-loud movie that’s hard to forget.

Adding spice to the film is Viva’s versatile actress, Yam Concepcion who was first launched to stardom via Erik Matti’s adult drama “Rigodon”. “Amnesia Love” is Paolo and Yam’s reunion film. They worked together in the 2016 Blockbuster movie, “Bakit Lahat Ng Gwapo May Boyfriend” with kapuso star Dennis Trillo and the Princess of All Media, Anne Curtis.
Joining Paolo, Yam, Lander and Maricel in the cast are Polo Ravales, Vandolf Quizon, Geleen Eugenio and Sinon Loresca.

“Amnesia Love” is showing in cinemas nationwide, starting February 28, 2018.

In the series, Mayumi and Isabelle never really liked each other, even more so when Mayumi’s mother, Luisa, and Isabelle’s father, Hernan, fall for one another and get married, making them stepsisters.

But no secret ever stays a secret, especially ones that are rooted within families. When Isabelle finds out what Hernan has done, she will do all that it takes to keep everything they have, even if it means taking down Mayumi. But Mayumi will never let anyone hurt her or her loved ones. Now both Mayumi and Isabelle will fight for what is rightfully theirs—family, honor, and love.
