Lorenzo (Phillip Salvador) grudgingly tilled the family plantation at the behest of his embittered, widowed mother (Mona Lisa) while his favored, weakling kid brother Ellis (Christopher de Leon) got a college education in Manila. When Ellis came home with a well-born fiancée (Carmi Martin), the matriarch was poised to turn the land over to him-and Lorenzo's resentments would churn into violent family conflict. Lino Brocka's powerful parable co-stars Baby Delgado. 109 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English and Tagalog; Subtitles: English; featurettes. In English and Tagalog with English subtitles.
