About Molata
In an idyllic surroundings amidst the rice terraces, young and care-free Ida has a wonderful life. But one night, a group of armed men charges into her home and kills her parents. Worse, these men conspire and accuse Ida of the murder of her folks. Years pass and Ida is on her way to national penitentiary. But a freak accident happens, and Ida manages to escape. Assuming a new identity, Ida who now goes by the name of Molata, returns to her village where people no longer recognize her. And using her body as a lure, she sets out to exact revenge.
Directed by Francis Posadas, Molata leans on a strong ensemble — Aya Medel, Maria Isabel Lopez, Rey "PJ" Abellana — 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 1999.
