"Two filmmakers are obsessed with doing a film about Jose Rizal, the Filipino National Hero. Their effort to explain the mysteries in the hero's life lead them to confront the past and its characters. This odyssey towards the illusive truth show us their face to face encounters with Dona Lolay, Rizal's mother, Paciano the brother, Josephine Bracken, the controversial 'dulce extranjera' Narcisa, the understanding elder sister,Trining, the other sister who holds the key to the retraction controversy; and Padre Balaguet, the Jesuit who writes about Rizal's final hours. These confrontations end with the unavoidable encounter with the hero himself."
