Everyone has the right to choose their partner. And many Filipinas prefer to end up with a foreigner. This concept of looking for an ideal foreigner lover is what Vivamax explores in its latest movie, Afam.
“Afam” formerly meant a foreigner assigned in Manila or an expat, until it got broadened to a foreigner around Manila or a tourist. These days, it’s loosely used to refer to a foreigner, period, whether he’s staying in Manila or not.
Hazel and Daisy (Jela Cuenca and Robb Guinto, respectively) are friends and co-workers at Bukang Liwayway Resort. They are different in many ways – Hazel is sweet and a bit shy, while Daisy is tough and a nagger. But both are caring and ready to be in love.
With the right man, Hazel dreams to build a complete family that she never had. As for Daisy, all she wants is to have someone take her away from her family who makes her their milking cow.
With the help of their former neighbor, Mirabelle (Katya Santos) Hazel and Daisy discover the fun of online dating and Afam-hunting. It’s how Mirabelle got herself a rich Italian husband.
Hazel and Daisy soon find a chatmate, not knowing that they are chatting with the same man who is using two names: JJ and Jamey (Nico Locco).
JJ/Jamey presents himself as charming and a perfect gentleman, but in reality, he is cunning and fraudulent. When he comes to the Philippines to meet his girls and attend to some questionable business, they are all startled by their situation.
Afam now streams on Vivamax.
