Plot[edit]
Ali (Bea Alonzo) is an impulsive photographer who savors every moment of her life. Nick (Aga Muhlach), is a venture capitalist, who accidentally meets Ali in a bookshop where Ali works. The two strangers bump into each other underneath the shop’s doorway and, in slo-mo fashion, they connect on a deep, romantic level that doesn’t quite reach you.[5][6]
Ali’s infectious charm is too strong for Nick to resist though. She is full of life and lives each day like it’s her last, quite literally because Ali has a grave heart condition. Soon, their chance encounter turns into something deeper, something worth risking heartbreak for.[7][8]
