Synopsis

Adela (Maricel Soriano) is the sole heiress and recluse daughter of Dr. Maximo Sevilla (Eddie Gutierrez). Devoid of love from her father who only sees her as a disappointment, Adela keeps to herself and finds solace in crocheting until she meets the dashing David Javier (Richard Gomez) and falls for him. Their blossoming love is met with cruel objections from Dr. Maximo who suspects David is only after his daughter's fortune. Will Adela finally find the love she's been longing for from David or was her father right all along?[2]

Digital restoration

The film was digitally restored and remastered by the ABS-CBN Film Restoration Project and Central Digital Lab by scanning the film in 4K resolution and restoration in 2K resolution. It was restored using the film elements supplied by Reyna Films: the Master Picture Negative and the Sound Negative. During the film's restoration process, the most prevalent damage in the supplied material were bumps, splice marks, image instabilities, and molds. The image instability posed a big challenge and required the most number of restoration hours. The other damages include heavy black debris, grain, flicker, color shift and missing frames.

The restored version was premiered on April 18, 2018 at Trinoma with the attendance of the film's director Carlos Siguion-Reyna; writer Raquel Villavicencio; cast members Maricel Soriano, Guila Alvarez, and Richard Reynoso; musical director Ryan Cayabyab; production designer Raymond Bajarias; and dubbing supervisor Lucy Quinto.[3][4]

The film's restored version received its free-to-air television premiere on ABS-CBN on February 16, 2020 at 11:45PM as a feature presentation for the network's Sunday late-night special presentation block.[5]

According to Kantar Media Philippines statistics, the showing attained a nationwide rating of 1.3%, losing to GMA Network's showing of 2006 film Blue Moon which has attained a rating of 2.6% of the total households.[6]
