Fans were left mourning over the latest twist on "The General's Daughter." There were also a lot who were impressed again by Angel Locsin's performance. Dreamscape

MANILA -- How many lives must be sacrificed to achieve a better Philippines?

As many as needed, apparently, with the latest being some fan-favorite characters from "The General's Daughter" --Elai (Arjo Atayde) and Nanang (Maricel Soriano).

Did terrorist leader Tiago (Tirso Cruz III) envision himself pointing a gun at a man with autism and a mother mourning the death of her son when he thought of his plan to blow up the country and rebuild it from the ground up --his warped idea of saving Filipinos.

Killing Elai was necessary, Tiago argued. Elai knew the identity of one of his spies in the military and exposing the link could very well jeopardize his grand scheme.

The other risk to it was aggravating Rhian (Angel Locsin), known to Tiago as "Uno." She was a prized pupil inside his terrorist training camps and he no doubt considers her a huge threat.

Rhian was close to Nanang and Elai, both of which helped her after being found with little to no memory of who she is. They also instilled in her a vision of life outside all the violence.

But Elai had to die and Tiago mercilessly pulled the trigger on him after surrounding him with this goons inside a forest. He also killed Nanang, who was kidnapped along with Elai.

Rhian arrived a tad too late and a heartbreaking scene where she broke down while trying to wake up the two made the show a top trending topic on Twitter worldwide.

A teaser for the next episode shows that Rhian will look to try and kill Tiago as a result of this.

Tiago, meanwhile, is still busy pushing through with his plan to bomb the country and kill millions --a reset button, he says.

"This story, even though it takes place far away from the reality of German daily life, still moved the audience here. That’s how impactful and relevant it is. This movie is special 💕," another fan wrote.

As per previous press release, Generation 14plus is a program in Berlinale that features the stories of children and teenagers. "Also known as 'coming-of-age,' the stories feature perspectives from young protagonists from around the world, highlighting the equally complex worlds of the youth."

Sunshine had a sold-out Berlinale premiere.

"Director Antoinette Jadaone, along with Actor Elijah Canlas and the team of SUNSHINE attend the film's packed screening at a 1000-pax theater! 🙏 They also held an engaging Q&A after more than a minute of applause at the end of the film. SUNSHINE is competing at this year's Berlinale under the Generation 14 category! 🤸‍♀️"Project 8 Projects previously shared. 

In an interview with ABS-CBN News prior to her departure to Germany for Berlinale, lead star Maris Racal remarked that it has always been her dream to attend an international film festival.

"Matagal ko ‘tong hinintay na maka-attend sa isang prestigious film festival like Berlinale. I’m also very happy to announce din that Sunshine will be in competition under the Generation 14 plus category which tackles stories about children, teenagers," she remarked.

The actress went on: "Super happy kami kasi it’s only one of the two films in competition, it’s a huge thing for us."

Maris remarked that she is looking forward to knowing the reception of the European audience.

"I’m excited ‘cause I’m curious paano nila i-a-accept itong story. I’m sure they will be open minded naman about the story," she said.

The actress added: "I’m just going to be there, be present. Be a sponge there, absorbing everything. I know this will open a lot of new perspective for me, and hopefully a lot of doors too."

Sunshine follows the story of "a young gymnast who discovers she is pregnant on the week of the national team tryouts. On her way to a seller of illegal abortion drugs, she meets a mysterious girl who eerily talks and thinks like her," as per its IMDb.
