How is the state of your mental health?
Filipino film game-changer Mavx Productions Inc. is out to spark a new discussion on mental
health in its latest offering “Unravel.”
The Swiss side love story starring Gerald Anderson and Kylie Padilla focuses on the
controversial practice of voluntary assisted death. It is legally condoned in other countries, particularly Switzerland, as long as the person who wishes to die is of sound mind and is able to end their life on their own.
“Unravel” follows Lucy (Padilla), a Filipina executive who is facing clinical depression amid
reaping huge success in her field.
The story unfolds as Lucy flies to Switzerland to get enlisted for voluntary assisted death.
Her plans take a turn when she meets Noah (Anderson), a kababayan whose personal
mission turns out to be encouraging people to choose to live.
Their journey brings out not just the beauty of Switzerland, but also the beauty of life, which
Noah hopes for Lucy to see.
Directed by RC Delos Reyes, “Unravel” is an official entry to the first-ever summer edition of
the Metro Manila Film Festival. It will run from April 8 to 18.
The movie is also one of Mavx’s three offerings marking ABS-CBN Star Magic’s 30th
anniversary, alongside “I Love Lizzy” and “Swing.”
Help is available to those who need it. HOPELINE is open 24/7 at (02) 8804-4673 or 0917-5584673.
