It was a night full of emotions and love as the cast and creatives of the film "Firefly" held their advance screening at the SM North Cinema in Quezon City last Dec. 12.

Celebrities, GMA executives and mediamen attended the event to witness sparkle artists Euwenn Mikaell, Miguel Tanfelix, and Ysabel Ortega who were part of the cast.

GMA Public Affairs personalities Jessica Soho, Kara David, Atom Araullo, Michelle Dee and Barbie Forteza also graced the advance screening of the film.

"Firefly" stars Alessandra De Rossi, Euwenn Mikaell, Miguel Tanfelix, Ysabel Ortega, Cherry Pie Picache, Epy Quizon, Yayo Aguila, and Max Collins showcased their elegant outfits on the blue carpet. 

One of the official entries at the 49th Metro Manila Film Festival, the story of "Firefly" begins with the adult Tonton being interviewed by a skeptical journalist after winning the National Book Award. The interview unravels the origin of his stories:

Set in 1999 and told through Tonton’s rose-colored memories of life with his mother – a vintage storybook.

One story in particular sticks with Tonton. The story goes: Once upon a time in a mythical island, a brave firefly mustered all its light and defeated a vicious dog to protect his butterfly friend.

To encourage Tonton, Elay tells him that the island is real and that you could make a wish if you ever made it there.

In an old notebook, Elay draws a map to the island. And Tonton had taken his mother's words literally: that he must make the journey to the island like they promised.

On the road, he meets three strangers who will either help him or hinder his quest.

"Firefly" is directed by Zig Dulay and written by Angeli Atienza under GMA Pictures.
