LSS (Last Song Syndrome) is a 2019 Filipino musical romantic drama film written and directed by Jade Castro, and starring Gabbi Garcia, Khalil Ramos, Tuesday Vargas, and Filipino folk-pop band Ben&Ben. It had a theatrical release in the Philippines on September 13, 2019, as one of the entries of the 2019 Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino.[1]
Aspiring musician Sarah and hopeless romantic Zack find themselves in the most unfortunate situations in their separate lives. Struggling to navigate through life, they both unexpectedly found a common bond for their love of music and being fans of Ben&Ben coincidentally. After a series of events and unexpected encounters with each other, will that love for the 9-piece Filipino folk-pop band eventually bring and mend their broken hearts together?
Ten original songs were featured in the film, namely "Ride Home," "Branches," "Leaves," "Kathang Isip," "Bibingka," "Fall," "Maybe The Night," "Mitsa (Salamat)," "Araw-Araw," and "Pagtingin" which are all performed by Ben&Ben.[2] For these songs, Ben&Ben received positive responses, with "Araw-Araw" winning Best Original Song at Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino Awards.
