If It's A Sin

While Irma and her daughter were in the United States, Jo, the former's high school classmate, was assigned to look after their house. However, Jo began stealing a lot of stuff, including her clothes and important documents. By the time she was brutally mauled by Alvaro, her ex-lover, she decided to use them to steal her identity by undergoing plastic surgery. With Jo becoming the false Irma, she made a lot of changes and took vengeance against Alvaro and his lover, and married Dan, Irma's high school love. When the real Irma returned, she confronted her and vowed to take everything she had stolen from her.

Directed by Eddie Garcia, If It's A Sin leans on a strong ensemble — Timmy Cruz, Dina Bonnevie, Julio Díaz — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1989.
