"Story is about family matters, family-oriented, it's educational and inspirational… story of one family na may tatlong anak na matatalino, that's why 'Special Gift' kasi yung gift nila, intelectual no, 'yung galing nila hindi lang sa school, may galing din sila sa arts pero si daddy kontra sa mga activity na ginagawa nila," director Lawrence Roxas said film aiming to end cycle of bad parenting will screen next month.
In Roxas of "The Special Gift" highlighted film will explore how parents can effectively nurture their children's dreams.
"Para ma-open 'yung ibang parents na dapat sa ngayon gabayan ang mga anak natin kung ano ang gusto nilang path," he stressed.
Roxas mentioned film's objective is to put end to cycle of bad parenting within Filipino culture.
"Hindi naman natin kailangang alisin 'yon pero dapat i-balance natin…eye opening din ito kasi sa panahon ngayon bibihira 'yung parenting seminars kaya naglunsad tayo ng gantong istorya para makita natin on other side ano ang damdamin ng mga bata," he said.
