Thirty years ago, an unborn child was buried in the garden of what is now a boardinghouse in Cubao. It lies beneath the ground, unbeknownst to the tenants who live there. One of the tenants is Mylene (Lovi Poe) who appears like the perfect girl, nice, pretty and at the top of her Medicine class. But nobody knows about her past, not even the man who loves her most, Paolo (Benjamin Alvez). Paolo doesn't know anything about Mylene's family, her long, lost sibling or her estranged, nervous wreck of a mother. Nor does he know about the very long scar that runs across Mylene's body, nor of how incomplete she always feels. And he finds that the more he tries to win back her love, the more she retreats to her secret world that nobody could enter.

Baby Angelo poster

Genevieve Homes boasts of a 24-hour security system (you may have seen him napping every so often), and is conveniently located near the neighborhood “sari-sari” store and outdoor café. Those with athletic inclinations will certainly enjoy a one-on-one game of basketball in Genevieve’s outdoor unisport complex; or they can take a stroll in its very precise, ten-plant garden. More than its old-world appeal, Genevieve’s real treasures are its tenants, some of whom have lived in the complex for what seems like forever. A peculiar mix of old and young, families and young single professionals, you’ll certainly be charmed by their ability to be ensconced in the daily, numbing repetition of their everyday lives. You may have heard of the disturbing news involving the discovery of a dead fetus inside the dumpster beside Genevieve Homes, but don’t let that feral murder discourage you from visiting us. Our waste management disposal system is at par with other urban cities
