Eight-year-old Joy’s mission to reach the moon and bring her father back to Earth—driven by her hope of keeping her mother from leaving—headlines the newest family-centered Christmas offering from iWant Originals, “Baka Doon sa Buwan,” premiering this December 28 (Sunday), exclusively on iWant.
Starring Aaliyah Marciano, Mimi Felicia, and Kate Alejandrino, the story centers on Joy (Aaliyah) and her mother, Mercy (Kate), whose strained relationship pushes Joy to believe she can find her father on the moon, a journey families can share this holiday season.
Joy’s journey introduces Faith (Mimi Felicia), an American Peace Corps volunteer and teacher who gradually becomes a mother figure in her life. As Joy grows closer to Faith, Mercy struggles with jealousy and emotional strain, testing the bond between mother and daughter.
Directed and written by Noah Tonga, “Baka Doon sa Buwan” explores themes of abandonment, resilience, and the power of imagination. Told through Joy’s eyes, the film shows how hope and belief can guide children through moments of uncertainty, making it a heartfelt addition to iWant’s lineup of year-end Originals for families and viewers looking for meaningful stories this holiday season.
