Plot
In the gripping tapestry of Promises (2015), we're introduced to the self-made tycoon Rolando Dominguez (Carlos Guerrero). Swept away by the intoxicating allure of his newfound prosperity, Rolando plunges into a dark abyss of tantalising excesses, only to find himself stripped of his sanity and shelter. He is haunted by the ghosts of his regret-riddled past and shattered pledges to his vanished son, Rollie (Carlos Guerrero Jr.). Rolando is trapped in a harsh paradox, where the immense wealth he amassed in his quest for joy becomes the very nemesis that decimates his existence.
In another thread of this compelling narrative, we meet the resolute Detective Stevens (Steven Bauer). Driven by a solemn vow, Stevens embarks on a relentless mission to reunite a desperate mother, Vanessa (Carmen Lopez), with her missing son. Vanessa's half-year ordeal has shaken her faith and left her teetering on the brink of despair. Yet, she clings fiercely to the last vestiges of hope to once again cradle her son in her arms. Together, these intertwined stories create a powerful testament to the human spirit, the weight of our choices, and the enduring power of hope.
