A film which dares to imagine an alternative historiography of Jose Rizal by working the figure of Rizal into the society and sexuality of Sisa, a character in Noli Me Tangere.

A classic dramatic piece on poverty and prostitution is transformed into a poignant take on failed celluloid dreams. A son of a late actor notorious for womanizing in his heyday aspires to be a big star someday but can't get past beyond being a stuntman. His meager income hardly suffices to support his family driving the wife to resort to selling her body.
