In Your Eyes

Ciara is a senior physical therapist who works for a rehabilitation center in the United States. She has devoted her entire life to her younger sister Julia who was left in her care after the untimely demise of their parents. After 8 years of separation, Ciara and Julia reunite when the latter acquires her student visa. Storm, Julia's boyfriend who earns a living as a freelance photographer, joins Julia despite the lack of a definite plan. In a desperate move for Storm to gain immigrant status, Julia asks Storm to enter into an arranged marriage with Ciara, who is already an American citizen. As Storm struggles to find his place in a foreign land, Julia works hard to chase after her own dream of finishing school, causing the two of them to drift apart.

Directed by Mac Alejandre, In Your Eyes leans on a strong ensemble — Claudine Barretto, Richard Gutierrez, Anne Curtis — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2010.
