The story of the Filipina domestic helper who was hanged in Singapore for allegedly killing her fellow maid is chronicled in a film that operates on various personal, social, and political levels. Both controversial and critically acclaimed, it has brought Nora Aunor numerous citations for her intense portrayal as the fallen heroine of the story.

Despite my lack of understanding of Tagalog, the acting is amazing and the story is hard hitting. The relationships between characters were very interesting and helped to understand the motivations of their actions. This is a moving piece about a true story from history
