That Thing Called Tadhana (lit. That Thing Called Fate) is a 2014 Filipino romantic comedy film starring Angelica Panganiban and JM de Guzman. Prior to its commercial release in 2015, it was an entry to the 2014 Cinema One Originals Film Festival where it earned top honors notably the Best Actress award for Panganiban. It is directed by Antoinette Jadaone who had worked with Panganiban in the 2014 comedy film, Beauty in a Bottle.
Mace Castillo (Angelica Panganiban) desperately struggles in unloading her excess baggage in an airport in Italy, and she cries over on how she can get an exact load limit with her baggage until Anthony (JM de Guzman) comes to her aid and offers a space in his luggage until they both check out and go back to their home country. At the airport, the two choose not to take the next cab ride and instead go somewhere. Both of them ends up singing in a karaoke bar where they sing "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" together and after a few drinks, Mace tells Anthony that she wants to go to Baguio City. On their way, Mace wakes up surprisingly that she couldn't believe herself asking Anthony to go with him and in Baguio to begin with. In the middle of the travel, they stop over a terminal station and Anthony asks Mace to go down the bus and join him to eat some snacks. Anthony buys hotdogs and sodas, where Mace presumably squeezes ketchup on Anthony's food and apologizes for doing it, because it was something that her ex-boyfriend likes her to do. Anthony mentions several different things and Mace had always something in it that reminds her of her ex. Mace remembers a friend whose deal was to pay another friend for every time she mentions her ex. For which, both decide to go for 100 pesos every time Mace mentions her Ex. Then as they reach their destination, they go to an art exhibit. While Anthony is staring at a painting, Mace discovers that Anthony has passion for art, specifically in painting. They go out to eat lunch and in the conversation, Mace reveals that she also had a thing for writing during her college years, which was titled "The Arrow with a Heart Pierced Through Him".
