Overall it's a good movie which explores mainly parent-children relationships but also gives a clear view on how unpredictable cancer (or any kind of life- threatening health issue) may be. Not just between people and their expectations of life but of oneself with life itself.
This movie is about understanding and forgiveness. Mothers will not always be there and children have to come to terms with that even as adults and realise that the absence is not the what makes them bad mothers. What makes a woman virtuous and acceptable by societywhen she has a family? Philippines have experienced a phenomenon where mothers and sisters have migrated in order to find success or simply to feed their families back home. That is the concept on which this movie is based on.
