Starring Dina Bonnevie, Eddie Garcia, Charo Santos, Christopher de Leon, and Allan Paule, the film tackles the abuse of power and evil acts committed by Edmundo Guatlo and his cruel wife Rowena in which Rachel,a movie actress who is his mistress, and her friends try to expose his scandals and violent acts done by him and his wife and even his henchmen to the public.[1]

Produced and distributed by Viva Films, the film was theatrically released on May 17, 1990 and was later screened through international film festivals including in France and Japan in 1994.[2] In 2010, the film was remade into a television drama series of the same name by GMA Network as the nineteenth installment of Sine Novela and starred Dennis Trillo as Levi, Jennylyn Mercado as Rachel, Al Tantay as Edmundo Guatlo, and Sandy Andolong as Rowena Guatlo.[3]
