Unbreakable is a 2019 Filipino romantic drama film directed by Mae Cruz-Alviar starring Angelica Panganiban, Bea Alonzo and Richard Gutierrez. The film was released to mixed-to-positive reviews but the over dramatization in the story was criticised.[1]

2005


Then aged-18, Mariel Salvador and Deena Yambao become friends in college. While Mariel is an IT major, Deena is more impulsive and keeps changing majors and is insistent on having a boyfriend. No matter what happened in life, they vowed to maintain their friendship.

2012

Mariel is set to marry photographer-cum-businessman Justin Saavedra. Deena, who eventually became a nurse in Norway, goes to a wedding in the Philippines as a maid of honour where she meets Justin's brother Bene Saavedra. Issues arise when Justin and Bene's mother, Helen Saavedra takes a liking for Deena while having a grudge against Mariel.

Whether their desires in love affect their friendship form the rest of the story.[1]
