Just in time for the season of love, Spring in Prague arrives as a beautifully shot romantic comedy that promises kilig, heartache, and hope—perfectly crafted for romcom fans and couples looking for a feel-good yet emotionally stirring movie experience before Valentine’s Day.
Starring Paolo Gumabao and Sara Sandeva, the film tells a love story that begins as a chance encounter but grows into something far deeper than a holiday romance. With its breathtaking European backdrop and heartfelt performances, Spring in Prague proves that love knows no borders, language, or season.
A Love That Began as a Getaway
The film follows Maruska “Marie” Ruzicka (Sara Sandeva), a young Czech model who travels to Asia for the first time in search of freedom from her controlling father. On the advice of her best friend Estrella, a fellow model who is part Filipina, Marie finds herself staying at a picturesque resort in the Philippines.
There, fate intervenes in the most unexpected way. A misunderstanding caused by Marie’s wayward camera drone leads her to cross paths with Alfonso “Alfie” Mucho (Paolo Gumabao), the free-spirited and warm-hearted resort owner. What starts as an accident quickly turns into a fast-burn romance—five unforgettable days filled with laughter, connection, and quiet promises.
But just as love begins to bloom, reality strikes. Marie is forced to return to Prague after receiving alarming news about her mother’s health, leaving Alfie heartbroken and wondering if what they shared was simply a fleeting vacation fling.
From Tropical Romance to Winter in Prague
Unknown to Alfie, Marie’s return home was orchestrated by her father, Vilem Ruzicka, a man deeply rooted in his rigid ideals and distrust of Western culture. He keeps Marie under house arrest, cutting her off from the life—and love—she briefly tasted. Only Estrella is allowed to see her.
A brief and unsanctioned phone call, however, changes everything. Convinced that what they had was real, Alfie makes the ultimate romantic leap: he flies to Prague in the dead of winter, armed with nothing but hope and love, determined to find Marie and set her free.
Prague: A Character on Its Own
One of the film’s most enchanting elements is its stunning use of Prague as a setting. Cast and crew shared how magical the experience was filming in the historic city, from its snow-covered streets and charming old-town architecture to its romantic bridges and timeless atmosphere.
Beyond its visual beauty, the production was deeply touched by how accommodating and welcoming the Czech people were. The warmth of the locals, paired with the city’s cinematic charm, added authenticity and soul to every scene. Prague doesn’t just serve as a backdrop—it becomes part of the love story itself.
A Must-Watch for Romcom Lovers
Directed by Lester Dimaranan with Abdel Langit as Associate Director, and produced by Borracho Film Production, Spring in Prague blends lighthearted kilig with emotional depth. The film also features a strong supporting cast including Elena Koslova, Marco Gomez, Ynah Zimmerman, Jessy Vidal—who also performs the theme song—and Sean Raval.
With its mix of travel romance, cultural contrast, and heartfelt storytelling, Spring in Prague is a refreshing reminder that sometimes, love is worth chasing—even across continents.
This pre-Valentine’s season, let yourself fall in love with a story that is tender, hopeful, and undeniably romantic. Spring in Prague is not just a movie—it’s a journey for the heart.
