Synopsis of the Film
The film is about Mando (Paulo Avelino), a Bikolano
devotee of Ina, Virgin of Peñafrancia, Patroness of Bikolandia. Mando
injures himself in the middle of the forest at the foot of the Mayon
Volcano. He is nursed back to health by a mysterious woman, Salome (Mara
Lopez) living there. They eventually fall in love with each other. But
when Mando invites her to come with him to the plains, Salome refuses,
saying a curse prohibits her from leaving the forest. Salome holds a
secret that will devastate Mando’s love for her. Mando relies on his
devotion to the Virgin of Peñafrancia to lift the curse, making him
realize just how inextricably linked are the virtues of love and faith.
