Hilom (2023) Movie Review

​Witness an intimate and earnest portrayal of a man’s journey from heartbreak to recovery! Hilom (2023), the emotional Vivamax original film, is now available for download and streaming on HdHubFlix!

​The film centers on Sam (Arron Villaflor), a man whose life has been consumed by a deep depression following a traumatic romantic breakup. Unable to move forward, Sam is stuck in a cycle of grief and self-pity. His healing process begins when he encounters Sammy (Christine Bermas), a mysterious, free-spirited woman who has dealt with her own share of pain and seems to possess a unique perspective on recovery.

​Sammy offers Sam a challenging proposition: she will guide him through a nine-step program designed to help him achieve emotional hilom (healing). This program involves confronting painful memories, pushing past mental barriers, and engaging in highly intimate and vulnerable emotional exchanges.

​As Sam and Sammy go through the intense process together, their relationship deepens from a therapeutic partnership into a passionate, unconventional romance. The film explores whether a new love can truly mend old wounds and whether the process of helping someone else heal can be a form of self-healing. While utilizing the mature elements typical of the platform, the core of the film remains the compelling emotional and psychological drama of Sam’s rebirth.
