Synopsis

After the union between Agnes and Ariston, Noel and Melody became step-siblings but they didn't get along until their years of adulthood. When their parents die, Noel is forced to be Melody's legal guardian despite their lack of closeness. As they grow older, they were married to their respective lovers: Melody marries Ronald and Noel marries Cynthia. One day, Noel and Melody became business partners but their confession of love for each other led to the destruction of their respective marriages and the stigma of their relationship. The affair made Ronald and Cynthia furious on their respective spouses as Noel and Melody continued to love each other.

Release

The film was released by Vanguard Films on March 7, 1985.

During its restoration efforts by the ABS-CBN Film Restoration Project and Central Digital Lab, the biggest problem during the restoration of the film was the molds and fungus that were embedded in the print from the source negatives.[4] The original print of the film, however, did not have a director's credit but fortunately, with the recent approval by the film's director, the title card "Directed by Mike de Leon" was recreated, matching the original font of the other credits.[5]

The film's restored version was released on November 11, 2014 in Trinoma Cinema as part of the Cinema One Originals film festival.[6][7]
