Magnifico

Magnifico is a heart warming story of a young boy whose amazing love, faith, and courage shine through life’s sadness and misfortunes.

His father Gerry thought that he would grow up just like his brother Miong, an intelligent young man who is a scholar in Manila. Now 9 years old, Magnifico is disappointed because contrary to his name, there is nothing great about him – hold for his extraordinary kindness.

When Miong loses his scholarship in Manila, his parents also lose all hope in having a better life. Add to this their youngest sibling Helen who has cerebral palsy and can’t talk yet. And as if fate were playing a prank on them, their grandmother Magna is diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Magnifico’s sympathetic heart leads him to help his family by planning the burial of his sick grandmother. In fulfilling his mission, he is bound to influence the lives of his townspeople and change the dim perspectives of his family by proving that everything is possible if only one sees through the eyes of a child.
