Rating65%
The film starts in a street scene. The people are in jovial spirits and are eager to celebrate the Philippines' newfound independence from Spain. The music and festivities then stop abruptly and they look up to the horizon. In few whispered words, the townspeople remark that "they are coming," referring to the American forces. Wary of the terror the soldiers might bring upon them, a mother (Tetchie Agbayani) decides to flee to the mountain jungles with her son (Sid Lucero). Deep in the jungle, they find an abandoned wooden hut and decide to settle there away from civilization and the perceived oppression that could come from the Americans. One day, the son finds a young woman (Alessandra de Rossi), exhausted and lying on the road after an American soldier rapes her. He tends to her, much to the reluctance of his mother. However, his mother eventually falls ill, then dies; he buries her in the middle of the forest. Afterwards, the woman gives birth to her child from the rape.

En revanche, la situation sociale n'a pas changé : les élites ont toujours le pouvoir, comme le démontre la position toujours forte de Rodrigo Trinidad, son ancien amant qui l'a fait tombée dans un coup monté. Les gens riches, comme Rodrigo, sont visés par des kidnappings en série et sont forcés de se cloîtrer dans leurs maisons. Profitant de la crise, Horacia commence à mettre sur pied sa vengeance.

Isagani, étudiant naïf, brillant et poète, se laisse influencer par le ténébreux Simoun, un radical qui prône la violence au nom de la libération. Représentant les tendances les plus sombres et destructrices de l’insurrection dans les milieux urbains et aristocrates, Simoun opère cependant un virement après une blessure presque fatale.
