VIVA Films brings together on screen the Princess of All Media, Anne Curtis, and the 49th Box Office Entertainment Awards’ Film Actor of the Year, Dingdong Dantes, in this year’s much-awaited romantic-drama, “Sid & Aya (Not a Love Story),” which opens on May 30.

From the screenplay and direction of box-office writer / director Irene Villamor (“Camp Sawi” and “Meet Me in St. Gallen”), Curtis and Dantes went to Japan to shoot some of the movie’s important scenes.

In the story, Dantes plays Sid, an insomniac, while Curtis portrays the role of Aya, the mysterious woman Sid meets and asks to spend time with him as he battles with those long, sleepless and empty nights.

The film’s tagline about it not being a love story is as intriguing as Curtis and Dantes’ first major big screen pairing.

They first worked together years ago in the teen-oriented TV show “TGIS,” where they were paired off with other actors. (PR)
