The movie follows the love story of Christine (Soberano) and Raf (Gil), ex-college sweethearts who meet again during a turning point in their lives.

The trailer shows the couple plotting their shared dreams, only to end up reaching for them separately after Christine ends their relationship. In one scene, Raf appears to be holding a ring box as he pleads to Christine not to leave.

Five years since they first broke up, the two come face to face again, with Raf asking Christine a series of “what-if” questions and surmising how much differently their lives would have unfolded given those scenarios.

The questions put them on the road to rekindling their romance, but their circumstances prohibit it as both are involved with someone else.

Shot partly within the campus of the University of the Philippines in Diliman and in New York, “Alone/Together” marks Soberano and Gil’s fourth big-screen project together.
