Emir, original Filipino movie musical, opens June 9
“Emir” tells the story of Amelia, a Filipina from Ilocos, who decides to work abroad to help her family. She takes care of the Sheik’s wife who is about to give birth, and later acts as nanny to the newborn Ahmed, the Sheik’s eldest son. Amelia sees Ahmed growing up and, in the process, introduces him to the culture, values and language of the Philippines. She becomes a second mother to the young prince and will sacrifice everything to protect him.
Inspired by true events—the Gulf war and an actual Middle Eastern crowned prince who speaks fluent Tagalog and Ilocano—the story of “Emir” is an inspirational one, revealing the triumphant and resilient side of OFWs.

Kudos to this film/trailer, it looks really promising. Also look at that great video quality, it’s about time Filipino films use the state-of-the-art RED camera that introduces high-definition cinema to the Philippine movie industry.
