Ballestero­s in ‘Amnesia Love’

- / PR

Viva Films ends the love month with fun and romance as awardwinni­ng actor Paolo Ballestero­s plays a guy trying to discover his true identity in “Amnesia Love.”

Found unconsciou­s by the beach in a remote island in Zambales, Ballestero­s’ character is taken in by a compassion­ate couple (Lander Vera-Perez and Maricel Morales). When he wakes up, he cannot remember his name or anything else.

The couple’s daughter (Yam Concepcion) is skeptical about this guy’s condition. Romance starts to brew between the two, but this amnesia patient displays some acts that are not exactly manly, and finds himself distracted by the sight of attractive men.

When somebody from his past comes to shed light on who he really is, will the answers bring him peace or mayhem?

With a best actor award from both the Tokyo Film Festival and Metro Manila Film Festival under his belt, Ballestero­s said he wants to keep making movies that would make people think.

“I want a good film that’s worth my effort," he said.

Adding spice to the film is Viva’s versatile actress, Concepcion, who was first launched to stardom via Erik Matti’s adult drama “Rigodon.”

“Amnesia Love” is Ballestero­s and Concepcion’s reunion film. They worked together in the 2016 blockbuste­r movie, “Bakit Lahat ng Gwapo May Boyfriend?!”

“Amnesia Love” starts showing on Feb. 28.
