Scene from 'A Werewolf Boy' starring Rabin Angeles and Angela Muji

Can a wild beast learn to love? 

This question will be answered today as fantasy-romance from Viva Films titled "A Werewolf Boy" starring Rabin Angeles and Angela Muji opens on cinemas nationwide today.

 

‘A Werewolf Boy’ follows Sara, portrayed by Angela Muji, a young woman dealing with an illness that forces her family to relocate to a quiet countryside home. There, they discover a feral figure—a mysterious boy in their barn who is unable to speak and exhibits animal-like instincts—brought to life by Rabin Angeles in one of his most demanding roles to date. 

 

Sara’s mother decides to take Boy in, and as Sara teaches him to eat, read, and behave like a human, a special connection begins to grow between them. Through their bond, Boy experiences warmth and care for the first time, while Sara finds renewed purpose in looking after him. 

 

But Boy’s fierce attachment to her soon leads to trouble when his protective instincts attract suspicion from the community, particularly from Juancho, Sara’s arrogant suitor, who becomes determined to uncover Boy’s true nature. 

 

When the truth about Boy’s origins emerges, Sara is forced into a heartbreaking decision to protect him—one that sets their lives on separate paths. Can a love this extraordinary survive the challenges of time and circumstance, or will the differences between them prove too great to conquer?

 

Under the direction of award-winning filmmaker Crisanto Aquino (My Future You, Instant Daddy), who previously guided the pair in Seducing Drake Palma, this adaptation promises a fresh emotional vision and a deeper exploration of Boy and Sara’s connection.

 

The movie is an adaptation of the original Korean film headlined by superstars Song Joong-ki and Park Bo-young.

Joining Rabin and Angela is a stellar ensemble led by award-winning actress Lorna Tolentino, whose special participation holds a key place in the story’s journey. Alongside her are Albie Casiño, Candy Pangilinan, Yayo Aguila, Jeffrey Hidalgo, Annika Co, Rose Van Ginkel, Angel Raymundo, Raffy Tejada, Onyl Torres, Boaz Mariano, Francis Mata, Simon Ibarra, Omar Flores, Ruslan Jacob, Luna Amor Buniag, Lui Manansala, and Kanye Avendaño, all of whom play important roles in Boy and Sara’s story.
