MANILA, Philippines - Flames of Love, which marks the return of family drama on big screen, opens Dec. 12 in theaters nationwide. Rich in moral values and lessons, Flames of Love is meant for the whole family, teenagers and adult alike, men and women, career ladies and yuppies.

Aside from its star values, Flames of Love has a great story written by Baby Nebrida, who co-directed the film with Gigi Alfonso, chairman of the Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino and chancellor of the UP Open University. The plot revolves around four families facing challenges that moviegoers can relate to and sympathize with. Valerie, a lost girl looking for love, is the link to those families.
Flames of Love shows the sins and weaknesses of men… if only to highlight their redemption, the restoration of faith, hope, love and the value of life. The film is at once inspiring, enriching, enlightening and entertaining.
