Kasal? (The Marriage)
Joel (Christopher De Leon) and Grace (Hilda Koronel) are a young couple who are about to get married. Days before their wedding, both go through the process of moving on from the one that got away. After spending years of evading Ernesto (Jay Ilagan), the man who broke her heart, Grace is forced to meet him when he threatens to take his own life. Joel unwittingly crosses paths with Lani (Chanda Romero), the elusive woman he has relentlessly been searching for when she disappeared after spending a perfect weekend together. The dormant feelings they have been suppressing start to arise and doubt starts to take over. Now that they have faced their past, are they ready to take on the future?
Bulaklak Sa City Jail
Nightclub singer Angela (Nora Aunor) is jailed for the frustrated murder of her lover's wife. As her total ignorance of her rights prevents her from sufficiently defending herself, Angela ends up locked up within the grim halls of the city jail. While in prison, Angela meets convicted swindler Juliet (Gina Alajar), who escapes to save her son from the clutches of his evil stepparents; jailed prostitute Lena (Celia Rodriguez), who does everything for her son yet cannot save him from the crooked path he chooses; convicted murderer Viring (Perla Bautista), who slowly breaks down after being separated from her child; convicted arsonist Barbie (Mitch Valdez), who uses her borrowed authority to bully weaker inmates; and accused murderer Patricia (Marites Gutierrez), whose influence failed to save her from the evil lurking behind the prison walls. Seeing and experiencing life behind bars, Angela swears not to have her love child born in the place fashioned into a living hell by powerful people who do not care about justice, even if the other option--jailbreak--endangers both her life and her child's. Will any of them live to see justice?

Mga Bilanggong Birhen (Familia Sagrada)
It is 1923. When agrarian injustices result in poverty under American-ruled Philippines, the dormant revolutionary “pulajanes” resurface to stop the abuses of landowners, under the able leadership of Kapitan Pablo. The rich are weakened by their own abuses. Some of the poor learn to betray. Love is sacrificed. Relationships do not mean a thing. War is war. It is costly. Women are captives.
Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos (Three Godless Years aka Three Years Without God)
World War II shatters the idyllic life of Rosario (Nora Aunor), a school teacher, and her beau Crispin (Bembol Roco), a soldier called to duty to fight against the invading Japanese army. Capt. Masugi (Christopher De Leon), a Philippine-born Japanese, chances upon Rosario’s house. Having too much to drink, Masugi rapes her. The spiteful Rosario becomes pregnant and angrily rejects Masugi’s gifts and courtship although due to his persistence, she eventually develops a love for the Japanese officer and agrees to marry him. Believing they are Japanese collaborators, the townspeople become hostile towards Rosario and her family. With the return of American forces to the Philippines, Masugi and Rosario’s family must now flee as the Japanese start to withdraw from occupied areas.
