The Captive Virgins (1977)

ABS-CBN Film Restoration, in association with Central Digital Lab, presents the 1977 masterpiece written and directed by Mario O'Hara and Romy Suzara, "Mga Bilanggong Birhen" set in an unspecified province in Visayas under the American occupation in 1923. The film tells about the lives of the Sagrada family, run by the matriarch and her son who live in the countryside, where they both live in peace and witness the occurrence of unfortunate events. It's a story of forbidden love and class oppression where women are captives of time, their hearts chained to the country under the colonial power. The film stars Alma Moreno, Armida Siguion-Reyna, Leroy Salvador, Rez Cortez, Mario Montenegro, Trixia Gomez, and Monang Carvajal in one of the widely-recognized film classics of the Second Golden Age of Philippine Cinema.
