MMFF Film Rewind Synopsis
“Rewind” is a heart-wrenching story about love, loss, and second chances. It follows the lives of Mary (Marian Rivera) and John (Dingdong Dantes), who fell in love and married. As they navigate through the ups and downs of their relationship, John’s priorities shift towards his career, causing strain in their marriage.
But just when they thought things couldn’t get any worse, a tragic accident took Mary’s life. Desperate to turn back time and make things right, John is presented with an extraordinary proposition: the chance to rewind time. With this second chance, John struggles to change the course of events and save Mary’s life.
With an impressive P815 million in domestic box office sales as of January 17, “Rewind” has officially broken the records set by “Hello, Love, Goodbye” in 2019 and “The Hows of Us” in 2018. Globally, the film has earned over P845 million and is on its way to surpassing “Hello, Love, Goodbye” as the highest-grossing Filipino film ever.
But for the cast, crew, and producers of “Rewind,” it’s not about breaking records or earning millions. It’s about touching lives and spreading a powerful message through their film. During the Thanksgiving event held in Quezon City on January 17, lead stars Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes shared how their main objective was to be instruments of change and hope during these trying times.
The success of “Rewind” is a testament to the film’s impact and ABS-CBN’s commitment to telling inspiring stories. In a message read by Star Cinema’s managing director, Kriz Gazmen, ABS-CBN President Carlo Katigbak expressed his pride in being part of such a special and influential film.
Despite the challenges faced by the movie industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic, “Rewind” proved that Filipino films can still break records and touch hearts. It’s a triumph for the cast and crew and the entire Philippine movie industry.
As the film continues its international run in over 300 cinemas worldwide and soon in the Middle East, it’s clear that “Rewind” will go down in history as one of the movie greats, a true classic that will inspire and touch many more lives in years to come.
