From the fictional world of the 2018 film “Hintayan ng Langit” directed by Dan Villegas, comes the new series “Simula sa Gitna,” written and directed by Antoinette Jadaone.
Starring Maris Racal and Khalil Ramos, it premieres Nov. 2, 12am on Amazon Prime Video.
Set in a purgatory of sorts called the Middle or “Kalagitnaan,” it has actress Maris Racal playing the role of Sarah, a Kalagitnaan employee.
She will meet Khalil Ramos’ character, a man who has recently died.
When Sarah accompanies him to the elevator, they accidentally end up in the Basement.
The two spend some time together and we learn that Sarah was a mean girl on Earth who died a traumatic death, and as a result, she doesn’t have memories of her time prior to arriving in Kalagitnaan.
Meanwhile, Kalagitnaan seems to have chaos and corruption in its system.
Will the two be able to get enough points for a chance to get a ticket to heaven?
The 6-episode dramedy is produced by Project 8 and ANIMA Studios, and co-written by Fatrick Tabada.
Other notable actors include Dolly de Leon, Joel Saracho, Gio Alvarez, Meann Espinosa, Adrian Lindayag, and Jane Oineza.
