Comedy icon Vic Sotto takes on his first serious role in the MMFF entry The Kingdom, portraying a conflicted monarch in an alternate Philippines.
Inspired by his children and director Mike Tuviera, Sotto embraced the challenge alongside co-star Piolo Pascual, who plays a reluctant hero.
The family drama explores themes of loyalty and sacrifice amidst lush visuals of an uncolonized Kalayaan.
Praised for his dedication, Sotto received admiration from Pascual and the cast.
The film premieres on December 25, marking a bold turn in Sotto’s storied career.
