Nick Joaquin's A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino

Candida and Paula take care of their father Don, a renowned painter. Relying on the financial support from their brother Manolo, and their sister Pepang, they refuse to sell their family home and leave it amidst the decline of their surroundings. To make ends meet, they rent a room to the modern and westernised Tony Javier, who ends up eloping with Paula. (Guanajuato International Film Festival)
