“Ang Babaeng Humayo” is centered on the story of Horacia (Santos), a former schoolteacher who is released from prison after spending three decades in a rural correctional facility for a murder she didn’t commit. Horacia returns to her ancestral home only to discover shocking events that happened to her family. Horacia’s mild, maternal veneer is shattered as she deliberately plots the ultimate revenge against man who framed her. In the process, she develops a close friendship with an epileptic drag artist Hollanda (Cruz) – a turning point in the film’s haunting narrative that brings the story to its deadly and chilling conclusion.
The film is written and directed by Lav Diaz, produced by Sine Olivia and Cinema One Originals, distributed by Star Cinema. It stars Charo Santos-Concio with John Lloyd Cruz, Nonie Buencamino, Shamaine Centenera-Buencamino, Michael de Mesa, Mae Paner and Kakai Bautista. Rated R-16 by the MTRCB.
