The Bells of San Jose

"A film of surging power, unmatched in magnitude and soaring in its portrayal of a people caught in the violence and passions of the world"

The film tells a story of large rural families suffering from economic insecurity in a remote part of the town of Magdalena, Laguna, where major life events are punctuated by the tollling of the church bells, and the coastal community of Dalahican, Quezon. Both places are homes of large families dealing with the reality of poverty.
