I love, love, love “Dito at Doon,” a smart romantic drama that uses the pandemic as an effective backdrop to push the narrative forward. The COVID crisis was not merely used as a décor but an important part of the story.
Written by Kristin Barrameda and Alex Gonzales, “Dito at Doon” stars the magnetic Janine Gutierrez as Len, a political science major, and JC Santos as Caloy, a delivery driver with a dream. After meeting online and butting heads about the quarantine, the two forge a romantic journey that may or may not survive the pandemic.
From director JP Habac, “Dito at Doon” will stick with you long after the movie is over. It’s equal parts funny and heartbreaking. Plus, the song by Ben&Ben “Nakikinig Ka Ba Sa Akin” is used effectively and is wrapped within the fibers of the story.
