Uhaw

Uhaw follows Rejoice, a wife who wakes to a life upended when the man she believed she’d lost to time is revealed to have carried on a secret affair before his coma. Struggling with betrayal, she tracks down the other woman, Astrid, in a tense confrontation that yields nothing simple or clean. Yet the encounter opens a surprising door, as widowly loneliness and moral doubt soften into unexpected warmth. What begins as a test of loyalty becomes a fragile crossroads where desire and forgiveness braid together, pushing Rejoice toward a path she never anticipated.

Directed by Bobby Bonifacio, Uhaw arrived in 2024 as a Filipino drama written for the screen rather than adapted from a previous work, spotlighting a compact cast led by Ataska Mercado and Angeli Khang.

Box office data for Uhaw is not publicly reported, reflecting a limited release and niche audience typical of indie Filipino dramas.

The film centers on grief, betrayal, and self discovery, using a quiet, intimate style to explore how loss can shift desire and sense of self. Performances by Ataska Mercado and Angeli Khang ground the emotional core.
