This is my first Filipino movie and I really enjoyed it. It's the story of a family that drifted apart after the mother died years ago.

The story begins with the father of four grown children spending his birthday alone because his children are too focused on their own lives and problems to visit. On the day of his unattended party his receives news that he has cancer and only 7 weeks to live. He sends a text to his children to inform them of the news.

The eldest son took over the family store and is on the verge of bankruptcy. The second son became wealthy and successful but believes his family only likes him for his money. The daughter has three children with a philandering husband. The youngest child felt abandoned after the mother died and his siblings moved away and is now in legal trouble.

The children decide to come together on a Sunday and throw him a surprise birthday party, but old wounds flare up and arguments explode. After learning of their father's distress over their squabbles, the children agree to get along for his sake and to meet every Sunday at his house. Each Sunday the family comes together on various adventures and learn about each other in the process.

There are ups and downs in the story as wounds and secrets are revealed and healed.

I don't want to spoil the secrets, but I will say that this is not a downer or tragedy. This movie is the definition of heart-warming.

I can recommend this movie with a happy heart.
