Not Your Typical Romance Story
Un-ex is the story of Zuri, a successful single businesswoman in her 30s. Her doctor tells her that she's struggling with infertility due to premature menopause. Zuri lost her parents at a young age and grew up living with different relatives. Because of that, she’s always longed to have a child of her own—someone she could be with, maybe even until old age.It reflects a common Filipino mindset that I personally don’t agree with: the belief that having a child guarantees someone will stay by your side forever. But in reality, children grow up, build their own lives, and we don’t own them.
In desperation, Zuri tries to reconnect with her ex-boyfriend—not because of love, but because she wants to use him to get pregnant. She pretends she still has feelings for him. What she has done is unforgivable but she repent and ask for a forgiveness in the end.
The story isn’t your typical romance where the couple usually ends up together—and I truly appreciated that. There’s a certain beauty in goodbyes too, and in reality, not all love stories are meant to last. The actors, who are a real-life couple and have been my favorites since the start of their careers, delivered a solid and consistent performance. The cinematography is also stunning. If you’re tired of the usual predictable love stories, this one is definitely worth watching.
