The restored facade of the Manila Metropolitan Theatre, designed by Juan Arellano, stands as the "Grand Dame" of Manila. On April 19, the theatre will host a special free screening of Chito S. Roño’s masterpiece.
Originally based on Lualhati Bautista’s 1983 of the same name, the film adaptation follows a middle-class family navigating struggles across several years while living in the Martial Law era.
The movie stars Vilma Santos and Christopher De Leon as the parents of characters played by Piolo Pascual, Carlos Agassi, Marvin Agustin, Danilo Barrios, and John Wayne Sace.
