Synopsis:
This controversial and provocative film came out of the Philippines' in 1986 and caused a storm of controversy for director Elwood Perez. The plot follows three young women who emerge from backgrounds afflicted by sexual abuse and deeply religious teachings, causing them to harbor doubts about their sexual preferences.
In the tradition of Japanese “Pink” cinema comes this shocking, violent and sex filled movie that caused an outrage when it was screened at the Chicago Film Festival.
The film stars former Miss Philippines, the stunning Maria Isabel Lopez, in her most revealing role ever. It‘s an eye-opening example of raw and savage film making from one of its country’s most innovative directors.
Set in the beautiful and remote countryside of Ilongo, the story tells of three young women and their struggle to come to terms with their own sexuality against a background of religious repression and male brutality.
This film contains scenes of extreme violence and graphic sexuality that may disturb some viewers
