'Isang Himala' — the highly anticipated musical adaptation of the 1982 classic 'Himala' originally directed by Ishmael Bernal and headlined by Philippine cinema icon Nora Aunor — is set to bring a fresh take to the story of faith, doubt, and miracles as one of the 10 official entries for the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) this December 25.

Directed by Pepe Diokno and co-written with National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts Ricky Lee — who also penned the screenplay for the original film — the musical film is an adaptation of the 2018 stage production 'Himala: Isang Musikal.' In this production, singer-actress Aicelle Santos first brought to life Elsa, a faith healer in a remote town whose miraculous claims ignite both fervent devotion and intense controversy.
