Leon was a man with simple dreams who worked various small jobs in Dubai to have money to send back home to his father and brothers.

Angel was the owner of an events company she ran in Dubai with her Tita Faye and Mima . One night, their paths crossed in the fancy restaurant where Leon worked as a waiter. Against all odds and danger, the two fell in love.

By simply reading the synopsis above, you can already realize how this old plot had been overused and rehashed in Philippine cinema. It had been countless times that we have seen this conflict between love and money played out in Filipino films of various genre over the years, from serious drama to slapstick comedy. This new one, written by Crystal Hazel dela Cruz and directed by Mae Cruz-Alviar, took the middle ground and played it as a rom-com.

With the second lead couple of Juniver and Cat , this film also tackled complicated romantic relationships between OFWs. Along with scenes which celebrated successful Pinoy entrepreneurs in Dubai, there were also scenes that depict dangerous "sidelines" they may have to resort to in order to keep up with the urgent financial demands back home.
