Padre de Familia is a 2016 independent family drama film, starring Nora Aunor, Coco Martin, and Julia Montes.[1] It is a story of an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker), Noel (Coco Martin) who has to assume the responsibility of being the breadwinner of the family after his father went missing. Likewise, it is also the story of the housewife, Aida (Nora Aunor) who has to assume the head of the family because the husband went away and never came back. The film has its premiere at selected cinemas in Europe and the Middle East.
Plot
The film starts with Noel’s (Coco Martin) life in Malaysia as an OFW. There he met a woman named Pia (Julia Montes) where they fell in love. Meanwhile, in the Philippines, his Mum, Aida (Nora Aunor) is receiving his remittances and pasalubongs so she could take care of his siblings, and the extended family like the hot-headed aunt Ramona (Rosanna Roces) and his Grandma (Anita Linda). In one of the scene, it was mentioned that his Dad (Joel Torre) suddenly disappeared after he left to work overseas. So Coco ended up helping his family financially. Aside from the remittances Aida received, she also lending money to market vendors. During this stint, she met and fell in love to much younger man Job (Joem Bascon). The conflict began when Aida decided to take the young man to be her partner, and took the young man to live with the entire family – much of the dismay of Ramona. The plot thickens when Noel went home one day and their father Ben resurfaced. The coexistence of these 3 people led to tragedy and eventually, forgiveness towards the end of the movie.
