Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn this 1985 movie all the sex scenes are simulated. In a 2007 interview Maria Isabel Lopez explained how Filipino producers and directors started from 1986 to make 'pene' film: "When you do a sexy film, audiences would demand more. What will you show next? And then the filmmaker would have to outdo himself by showing more. So there was this escalation of violence and sensuality. After my generation, you know what happened? The sexy films became movies with penetration. I don't do that stuff, mine is just simulated. After that, they have to outdo themselves. The filmmakers, the producers and the move-going public wanted to see more. So they have to discover even younger actresses in the street, discover lesser stars, and the actresses became like toilet paper. That's how they (the producers) described them - tissue paper. Use them once and then throw them away. Use them for one to two films - they haven't even recovered money yet to buy themselves a car, and they are already out of the industry. And then they'll get a fresher face, younger. So my contemporaries were a decade younger than me. Because I was in my mid twenties when I was doing the sexy films, and the other films, the lead star is fifteen years old! You know, I was a middle aged woman, and my span of being a sexy star was up to one decade. I was in the industry so long, and there was a huge turnover of actresses. I outlasted them. But I told you, I have a supporting cast who will do all of the worst scenes. And since I'm the blockbuster drawer, I'm the crowd drawer in the film, they capitalize on my name, they listen to my ground rules."

Awakening versus Oppresion
There is quite a theme running through the movie. And it is not just the fact that our lead is struggling with her sexuality. Because it is not just what she is feeling, but how society (or rather the village she lives in) makes her feel about it. And there is quite some foreshadowing going on, that should be able to tell you where this is going.
And it is not an easy movie to watch. Not just because the main woman is so troubled and therefor makes it an uncomfortable watch. But because of how people react and how things spiral out of control. Now all that is quite an achievement for the movie, but it probably will turn people off (no pun intended) with all the nudity. There is even erect penis at display (though no actual penetration can be seen, as far as I could tell, I didn't really bother checking). So if that makes you feel uncomfortable, be warned. But there is even something worse towards the end happening ... it's really despicable and there is social commentary. So there is something there - it just could have done with a better packaging, maybe a shorter running time. Overall decent and quite a punch in the gut ...
