Three, Two, One

The film is made of three separate stories. All three run between hope and despair. In the opening part there is a young man named Noni. He has been put into a centre for his drug dependence. His family relations are troubled as well. The methods used at the centre are questionable. The second part has a girl named Gina. She lives in a slum district. Her father was an American soldier. She waits for him to come and take her away. Her mother Lucia wants her daughter to go. But she is not ready to be left alone. The third part is a darker story. It follows someone living under religious pressure. The film holds the three stories in the same register. Jay Ilagan and Hilda Koronel appear in the one hundred fifty five minute film, a Filipino production Lino Brocka finished in 1974.
