A starstruck teenager, Bona (Filipino screen legend Nora Aunor) attracts the attention of a two-bit actor. Ever happy to play the lover, she soon finds herself cast as a maid to the philandering thespian with an endless list of fans. A remarkable feminist parable about life under dictatorship.
This project is supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department.
