Aside from &quot;Mujigae,&quot; UXS also has an entry to the Metro Manila Film Festival in &quot;Himala.&quot;&quot;Mujigae&quot; is a story about how a five-year old kid can heal broken bonds. Former &quot;Mini Miss U&quot; from Cavite Ryrie Sophia plays the title role of Mujigae, which translates to &quot;rainbow.&quot; A cheerful orphan, she forms an unlikely bond with her estranged aunt Sunny, who is played by Kapamilya multimedia actress Alexa Ilacad.Their bond will then be tested when Mujigae&#39;s biological father -- played by South Korean actor Kim Ji Soo -- enters the picture.Movie and commercial director Randolph Longjas revealed that they were instantly charmed by Ryrie during the casting call and the child star had to go through a crash course on studying the Korean language.Longjas also praised Ilacad&rsquo;s performance in the movie as the millennial aunt who doesn&rsquo;t want to take care of a child.&nbsp;&quot;This is Alexa&rsquo;s best performance in her career,&quot; said Longjas.&nbsp;&quot;To be fair, binigay ko naman talaga,&quot; Ilacad said in response to the praise. &quot;Lahat ng kaya mong ibigay, binigay ko. I really channeled and accessed every emotion I could ever channel. I&#39;m happy na na-happy si direk kasi collaborative naman ang paggawa ng isang pelikula.&quot;Comedy actress Rufa Mae Quinto has a special participation in the film, playing the role of a barangay captain who struggles to remember names.&nbsp;Richard Quan, Donna Cariaga, Kate Alejandrino, Anna Luna and Cai Cortez are also part of the movie that will be screened exclusively on SM Cinemas beginning October 9.
