Lucinda (Vilma Santos) and Gerald (Eric Quizon), on the other hand, gave up everything, including their love and respect for one other, just to wield the power and riches they now share. Lucinda decides to help her cousin Teresa and her ex-boyfirend Renato get up on their feet. However, her intentions are not noble. Until now, she has not learned to love anyone but Renato whom she left in order to pursue her personal ambitions. Gerald, on the other hand, falls for the sweet and naive Teresa. Separately, Gerald and Lucinda abuse Renato’s and Teresa’s vulnerabilities and find means of conducting extramarital affairs with them. While Gerald’s affair with Teresa is momentary, Lucinda becomes obsessed with Renato and plots a scheming and vicious plan to get him back. Unfortunately Renato’s love for Teresa is steadfast. Realizing this, Lucinda searches for the kindness in her and does everything she can to bring Renato’s life back. For a woman who would do anything just to get her way, will she succeed this time?

Film Reviews: Brocka did Hahamakin Lahat for Regal Films. This would be his third team-up with Vilma Santos. The role called for Vilma to be dark, daring, and innovative—something that totally deviated from characters usually portrayed by the sweet-faced actress . It showed a heroine entering into a marriage of convenience with a ruthless, scheming mayor—a character Brocka created to expose the hypocrisy and corruption of society. – Mario Hernando
