Julia Barretto and Carlo Aquino heats up in the romance film EXPENSIVE CANDY
Wednesday, September 07, 2022"Ang mahal mo naman mahalin..." - Toto
This is one of the iconic lines in the upcoming film, EXPENSIVE CANDY. Another film that not only tackles the struggles of keeping the love alive in between hardships of life but also delves in the social issues of sex trafficking in the Philippines, which has been the oldest "job" in the metro. It may be illegal in the face of the law but if we dig closer into the loves of those who engage in this kind of business, it seems they all have same outlook in life, just like what Julia Barretto's role in this movie said, "Ito lang ang kayang kong gawin..".
In the movie Expensive Candy, Julia Barretto sizzles as the lead character who plays the role of Candy, it's been two years since we saw her in the big screen via the 2020 zombie thriller Block Z.
And now, Julia Barretto makes an exciting return as she takes on one of her most challenging roles to date opposite Carlo Aquino, who plays her leading man for the very first time in this romance film.
Renato 'Toto' Camaya (Carlo Aquino) is a high school teacher who falls in love at first sight with Candy after a night of paying to be with her.
Something about Candy leaves a mark in Toto's heart that he can't forget about. In trying to win her love, Toto spends time with Candy as much as possible, even if he has to pay for her time. He works double time just to make money and get to spend more time with her but in the end, he keeps spending and leaving him with tactics that he shouldn't be doing.
Directed and written by JP Laxamana of Isang Daang Tula Para Kay Stella and The Day After Valentine’s fame, Expensive Candy is set to follow the complicated love story between Candy, a fierce and independent sex worker (played by Julia) and Toto, a bumbling, virgin school teacher (played by Carlo). And although Carlo is a veteran in the world of romantic flicks with Meet Me in St. Gallen and Exes Baggage, Julia is set to step into the limelight of her first ever sexy role to date—and we couldn’t be more excited than a kid in a candy store.
Don't miss Expensive Candy, showing on September 14 in cinemas nationwide! For more update visit the official Facebook page of Viva Films.
