Babae Sa Breakwater


Basilio and Buboy, two boys from a coastal town, sail off for Manila in serach for a better life. Instead they find themselves squabbling for inhospitable space by the breakwater of Manila Bay. Yet amid the rubbles of destitution, Basilio finds redemption in Paquita, a prostitute whose life is fueled mainly by drugs and alcohol.Basilio's affection set's Paquita on the road to recovery. Basilio has always had a deep communion with the sea. It is here that the body of his father lays to rest. Now, sank deeper in poverty, the sea becomes his savior when he uncovers a pouch of jewelry tha's been washed up by the breakwater. However, when he sells a piece to help out a fellow dweller in need, news spread out to Dave, a policeman and a former client of Paquita who then accuses Basilio of stealing. One incident leads to another that winds up with tragic yet tender climax. The film dazzles with sterling performances from tyros Katherine Luna and Kristoffer King. Others hail it as a resurgent piece of work from the Philippines not seen since the days of Lino Brocka.
