Mulat (Awaken) is a psychological thriller,
a time-hopping mystery, and a perspective-rich romance rolled into one. Chief in
this long list are its two lead actors—Jake Cuenca (who plays the morose Jake) and
Ryan Eigenmann (who is dynamite as Vince)—both of whom effectively quash any
preconceived notions viewers may have of their abilities due to their notoriety
in more mass-leaning vehicles. Newcomer Loren Burgos is also not to be shrugged
off, and it is her impassioned turn as Sam, in equal doses forceful and
vulnerable, which serves as the movie’s anchor. Supporting cast members such as
the sparring couple of Logan Goodchild (Logan) and Candy Pangilinan (Cathy), as
well as theater mainstay Madeleine Nicolas (Sam’s mom), also deserve kudos.
SYNOPSIS
Sam decides to break off her engagement and leave her tumultuous
relationship behind after a brief but life altering experience. She resolves to
focus on finding herself, her peace of mind and happiness and in the process
she meets Jake, the man of her dreams. Everything seems perfect until she
starts experiencing hallucinations and recurring nightmares that prompt her to
question her own sanity.
The process of self-discovery leads Sam to realize how fear and the
memories of the past are subconsciously preventing her from getting what she
wants the most. Will she allow her doubts and uncertainty resulting from her
failed relationship be a self-fulfilling prophecy? Her journey to restore her
faith takes her to different realms of possibilities and ultimately leads her
to uncovering a shocking truth.
