Witness how a young man mends his broken heart with the help of a stranger he meets by fate. Hilom streams on Vivamax starting this Friday, June 9.

How do you cope and heal when in pain? Do you drown yourself in sorrow and let it consume you until it no longer hurts? Do you turn to vices and indulge yourself in temporary happiness? Do you travel to escape and discover more about yourself? Or do you run to family or friends, to make you feel that you are not alone?

This June, witness how a young man mends his broken heart with the help of a stranger he meets by fate.

Sam (Arron Villaflor) is a go-getter who plans everything out. Now in his prime years, he is living his best life and shares a long-term, almost perfect relationship with his beloved. Everything is going well for him and he can't seem to wish for anything more.

But all these changes in a snap when his girlfriend of 10 years rejects his marriage proposal and breaks up with him. This incident leaves Sam devastated and messed up to the point that he wants to end his life.

No amount of sleep or any dose of pills could take away Sam’s sadness.

To help ease his mind, his friends take him to a beach resort to escape and free himself from overthinking his burdens. This is where he meets Sammy (Christine Bermas), a free-spirited, aspiring food vlogger.

Being opposites, Sam and Sammy will find it hard to have their common ground at first. But their hurtful experiences in love will make them see that they have more things in common than they thought.

Sammy gives Sam a Lucky-9 list on how to move on, the same list she used to move on from her ex. But as Sammy helps Sam move forward, she also starts falling for him; and he for her.

Is Sammy the one who’ll make Sam finally forget about his pain? Or will she be just another life lesson that Sam should move on from?

Get ready for the twists and turns of this story. It may seem like a typical boy-meets-girl plot, but the film is so much more than that.

Directed by multi-genre director GB Sampedro, take yourself to a journey that will let you heal from your hurtful past. Hilom premieres on Vivamax this June 9, 2023.
