This drama offers a rare chance to compare the styles of two major Filipino filmmakers. The first episode is about a chance encounter between a spirited ex-nun and a dispirited architect played by Nora Aunor and Christopher de Leon. The second episode from his own screenplay, tells the story of another chance encounter this time between Solly and Chris, two former lovers.

Ferry owner Benjamin has a regular passenger, Chedeng, who is studying to become a midwife. Chedeng has a friend and neighbour, Maria, and without either of them knowing about it they both have a relationship with Benjamin. When Mary finds out she’s pregnant, things get difficult.

Ala Verde Ala Pobre is the story of Manuel and Jessica, a young couple surviving against the odds in the ‘Riles’. The Riles is a hustling community of less fortunate people who live along the railroad tracks in makeshift dwellings where anything can happen and often does. With dreams of having a child, they desperately strive for a better way of life.
