The story of “Island Dreams” revolves around Julie (Louise delos Reyes) who really need needs some money for she will be auditioning to a big singing reality show on going to happen at the town’s capital and she needs to go. Her ticket to instant money is by selling her services as a tourist guide to some visitors of the resort island where she lives with her poor, blind mother.
She gets her chance when she meets Walter (Alexis Petitrez), a visitor of the island from America in search of True Love’s Peak. It is a secluded place in the island surrounded by a myth-‐ that anybody who sets foot on the grounds of True Love’s Peak is soon bound to find true love if anyone cares enough to believe.
Julie knows the real story of the myth so she doesn’t believe. Walter is bearing the pains of losing a loved one, someone he made a promise to believe. But he’s in the island to forget all that, to maybe just get wild and get lucky.
As the two embark on the journey, they both find themselves gravitating towards the promise of that true love. But will they be brave enough to realize that the myth and the place and their own pains actually make them vulnerable to something beyond their control? And whether it is true love or not, they will both have to find out for themselves.
Directed by Aloy Adlawan and Gino M. Santos and cinematography by Carlo Mendoza, “Island Dreams” also stars Irma Adlawan and Chanel Latorre in theaters soon.
