Babae sa Breakwater

Quinzaine 2004 | Feature film | 2h04

Basilio and his brother hope to make a better life in Manila. He meets Paquita a girl who started whoring so early in her life that at her relatively young age she’s already played out, her body full of diseases and open sores. The two are threatened by « Bosing » David, a former cop and cripple, a shootout gave him the limp and ended his career as police officer, who holds the breakwater area in his cruel grip.
