Bride for Rent (2014)

As the clock ticks towards Rocco Espiritu's (Xian Lim) 25th birthday, the stakes couldn't be higher: he must secure his inheritance to save his professional reputation, all while nursing a hangover from a reckless night of partying that left him financially destitute. On the same precarious precipice stands Rocky Espiritu (Kim Chiu), a woman burdened with the looming threat of homelessness unless she can conjure up her overdue rent. Their paths intertwine when Rocco, faced with the peculiar stipulations of his grandmother's will, must find a wife to unlock his trust fund. Enter Rocky, an unlikely bride-to-be drawn into the ruse by the allure of a lucrative "talent fee." Their lives converge in a faux marriage, one born of desperate circumstances and a shared need for quick cash. In the midst of their intricate act, they navigate the choppy seas of their pretend marriage, weathering a relentless storm of challenges that force them to reassess their differences and work harmoniously. However, this matrimonial masquerade takes an unexpected turn when genuine emotions start to simmer beneath their well-rehearsed facade. As the lines between pretense and reality blur, Rocco and Rocky must grapple with the unexpected complexities of their deal: are they mere actors in their own plot, or have they unwittingly sown the seeds of a real relationship? "Bride for Rent" is a tale of desperate measures and unexpected alliances, a vibrant tapestry of emotional rollercoasters, and a poignant exploration of what happens when the heart gets entangled in the art of deception. Can Rocco and Rocky uphold their initial agreement, or will they succumb to the whirlwind of their own charade, turning their grand scheme into something far more tangible than they ever imagined?
