 SEVEN SUNDAYS, 2017



OVERVIEW

Directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina | Released in 2017 | Produced by Star Cinema

Seven Sundays is a heartwarming Filipino family drama-comedy that tells the story of the Bonifacio family, who are brought back together by news of their father's terminal illness. When Manuel Bonifacio (played by Ronaldo Valdez) learns that he only has seven weeks to live, he asks his four children to spend each Sunday with him—giving them time to reconnect, heal, and face unresolved issues from the past.

The Bonifacio siblings, each carrying their own emotional baggage and struggles, come together reluctantly but soon rediscover the value of family and forgiveness.

  • Dex Bonifacio – Enrique Gil
