Synopsis
A movie director hoping for a comeback finds material for a sure-fire hit: a lurid tabloid headline about a pig farmer who raped his own daughter and granddaughter. A producer greenlights the project on one condition: the movie must be soft-porn. The incest-rape victims reluctantly sell the rights to the story. When the movie eventually comes out, it's apparent it bears little resemblance to the facts it's supposed to be based on: instead it exploits all the laughable cliches of Filipino commercial flicks and pays homage to every genre the director has managed to throw in. The viewers seem to accept the movie as the truth. It is more than the two women can stand: feeling as if they had been raped all over again, they walk out on the movie.
