SYNOPSIS:
Amelia (Francheska Farr), a Filipina from Ilocos, decides to work abroad to help her family. She takes care of the Sheik’s wife who is about to give birth, and later acts as the yaya (nanny) to the newly born, Ahmed – the Sheik’s eldest son. Amelia sees Ahmed growing up, and in the process, introduces him to the culture, values and language of the Philippines. She becomes almost a mother to the young prince and ultimately sacrifices everything to protect him.
The first original Filipino musical of this magnitude on film, it was shot on location in Ilocos Norte, Ifugao Province and the Moroccan cities of Marrakech, Ourzazate and Essaouira.
