'Kiss in the Wind') is a 2015 Filipino romantic horror and psychological thriller film, directed by Emmanuel Q. Palo and written by Enrico Santos.

[1] Mia struggles to adjust to a new life in Baguio with her mother Teresa, her stepfather John, and her half-brother Sam, and harbors a lingering resentment over the death of her biological father Rene.

Shortly afterwards, she attends a party at the Diplomat Hotel and meets Gio, a mysterious young man consistently dressed in the same outfit.

Gio also helps Mia overcome her traumas from witnessing her father's death and defends her from a group of bullies led by Wilmer.

A desperate Mia convinces her group to accompany her to the park where she meets with Gio, only to stumble upon a cemetery containing Pauline's grave.

Several scenes from the film were also shot in a 1930s abandoned American house and at the supposedly haunted Diplomat Hotel, both located in Baguio.

[5] The Filipino Scribe gave the film a rate of 3.5 out of 5.0 praising Manzano and Raymundo for their performances, saying, “Edu Manzano and Ina Raymundo only had limited exposure in the movie, but they portrayed their respective roles as a loving mom and a strict but perpetually-concerned stepfather rather convincingly.” Jocelyn Valle of PEP.ph commended Montes' performance, stating, "Julia, the actress, shows great commitment and earnestness in playing the character of Mia.

She makes the viewer feel Mia’s emotional stages of entering into the territory of romantic love — apprehension, excitement, caution, bliss — until reality bites.
