Synopsis

Gunding is called by some as a "dumalaga" because of her easy yielding to sexual favors. Because of her notorious reputation and sexual escapades, her daughter Felicidad decides to break up with her boyfriend to enter the convent in the hope of helping Gunding. In a fit of madness, Gunding's husband sets fire to their house along with all their family’s money and jewelry, destroying the luxuries that symbolize moral corruption.
