In a small town near the Manila Railroad, Sal– a lonely baker suffering
from a chronic kidney condition wants to end his life by confronting the
oncoming train. Sharing a depressing life are his neighbors–a barber
with hand tremors, a Cariñosa dancer paralyzed by stroke, and a meat
vendor with tumor in his breast. Their prayers were finally answered
when 7-year old Visayan girl Aguy came with a series of miraculous
cures. Sal grew fond of Aguy like his own daughter and offered his home
to the wandering child who possesses the unsual ability to cure. When
she sees someone in pain, Aguy inflicts physical harm by slapping the
face or punching the chest. Thereafter, magical healing happens. But as
Aguy is able to heal the sick, she however, cannot heal Sal. As his
condition weakens, Aguy realizes she must do a most heart-breaking
sacrifice, hurt him the worst way she can.
I love
the positivity, the good vibes and the message of the film that leaves
to the audience. It's a story of hope, love and faith. This is truly a
feel good movie that is totally heartwarming and you leave the cinema
smiling after watching. This is the modern version with a twist of the
1998's film Hiling.A child star is born with Miel Espinoza as she is the
heart of the film. The ensemble cast had its own shining moments and
own story to tell. With its effective leads, charming ensemble and tears
on the side, Pan De Salawal truly managed to deliver its heart and
soul to the audience. One of the must see in Cinemalaya 2018.
My Verdict: 4/5
