Vice Ganda and Nadine Lustre mark their highly anticipated reunion in a comedy-drama film about a mother’s unconditional love in “Call Me Mother,” an official entry to the 51st Metro Manila Film Festival, out in cinemas beginning December 25.
The movie’s official trailer earned a total of 20 million views after more than 24 hours across social media platforms and the hashtag #CallMeMotherFullTrailer was the top trending topic nationwide following the trailer release on December 2.
Helmed by award-winning filmmaker Jun Robles Lana, the movie delves into the complexities of unwavering love, commitment, and sacrifice throughout motherhood that will warm the hearts and bring joy to families this Christmas season.
“Call Me Mother” is a story about two mothers Twinkle (Vice) and Mara (Nadine). Twinkle is a former queen maker turned adoptive, loving queer mother to Angelo (Lucas Andalio) who proves that motherhood isn’t about biology but about choosing love and devotion.
On the other hand, Mara, Angelo’s biological mom, is a former teen pageant prodigy turned high-fashion model who lives with deep regret when she made the life-changing decision to abandon Angelo in order to follow her dreams.
Twinkle reaches out to Mara to finalize the adoption that will allow him to bring Angelo to his new job abroad. However, Mara will only agree to sign the adoption papers if Twinkle helps her win the biggest beauty pageant in the country.
From a reluctant parent to fully embracing motherhood, can Twinkle live up to his end of the bargain with Mara despite her growing closeness to Angelo?
The film also stars “Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab” housemates Klarisse De Guzman, Mika Salamanca, Brent Manalo, Esnyr Ranollo, River Joseph, and Shuvee Etrata, as well as Chanda Romero, Carmi Martin, Ces Quesada, John “Sweet” Lapus, MC Muah, Iyah Mina, Jennifer Sevilla, Robert Ortega, Tanya Gomez, and Divine Tetay.
“Call Me Mother” is produced by Star Cinema, The IdeaFirst Company, and Viva Films.
