    6/10
    A melodrama with hidden meanings.
    This soapie conscious flic has a few bones to pick with the hypocrisy of the church and politics. A naive farm boy falls for a local prostitute who wants to go straight. It goes deeper but that was enough to cause trouble with Filipino censors who didn't like this film one bit. A good film festival filler for a late night screening that enables you to go down a lower gear while the filmmaker does all the explaining.
