Their hazardous free-diving fishing expeditions are driven by Fredo’s obsession with catching the greatest number of fish.

What matters death if one dies for what one loves, for native land and cherished ones?

JOSE RIZAL (), accused of treason, meets with his colonial government-appointed counsel, Luis Taviel de Andrade. The two build the case and arguments for the defense as significant events in the central figure's life prior to his incarceration unfold. Upon hearing Rizal's life story, Taviel begins to realize that the accused not just is innocent but exhibits in fact all the qualities of an extraordinary man. When the mock trial unreels, Taviel is all set to act as the prime advocate for his client as Rizal himself is about to give an earth­ moving speech to defend his honor and address his countrymen. Meanwhile, the Spanish authorities have worked out the vast political machinery to ensure a guilty verdict. A revolution waits in the wings.

The movie is considered the biggest blockbusters film ever made in the history of Philippine cinema. Directed by Marilou Diaz Abaya under GMA Films, this movie won over 70 international awards, including 16 awards from the 1998 Metro Manila Film Festival, 11 awards from the 1999 FAMAS Awards, 6 awards from the 1999 Gawad Urian Awards, 8 from the 1999 Star Awards for Movies and various awards from different film festivals worldwide like the International and Toronto Film Festivals. 175 minutes.
