The plot of this movie:

The death of Mariel was met with such hurt by her three closest friends. But it was her best friend, Carla that she leaves a most special gift, a box full of her diaries through the years. Carla has been Mariel’s friend since their high school years; they have practically shared everything in their lives together. Their two other girl friends, Sandra and Olive formed the quartet who would get together ever so often and served as a mutual support system. Despite warnings from Sandra and Olive not to read the diaries left behind by Mariel, Carla could not help herself to find out what was written on those volumes of handwritten materials. True enough, what she discovered completely shattered all her perceptions and beliefs of the friendship shared by the four women through the years. Inside those diaries were all the little secrets that the women kept from one another all the hidden emotions, stories and comments that made their lives a sham. Death should be a closure but it could also be a terrible beginning and realization of what was hidden by the living.

MOVIE REVIEW/MOVIE ANALYSIS: 

I enjoyed watching this movie it gives me so much laughter and it drives me crazy. A very entertaining film indeed. Of course the mainstream/powerhouse cast which gives a color to the story. Believing that they will be all together in one of the Indie Film like this. First time I saw Janice, Iza, Agot and Judy Ann saying foul words and "Greeny" jokes now we all knew how they say those foul/bad words when they are not in front of the camera. The actors and the lead actresses are great in their portrayal of their roles that I'm now having a hard time saying who among them shone the brightest. Because of that they all win best actress and best supporting actress. They really deserved the award. The story also is very interesting it revolves from the friendship that everyone can relate. It suites for all ages.One thing that I discovered that Director Jose Javier Reyes, this is the first Indie Film that he made. A good start for him!

 

PS. I do not own the pictures. I just got it on the Mga Mumunting Lihim Facebook Page.
