Vilma Santos stars as Loida – a bit player (ekstra) for many years already, enabling her to get her daughter through her education even if she was a single mother. We follow her typical experience one day when she was called to a remote shooting location in Batangas for the hit TV soap opera entitled “Nauna Kang Naging Akin”. The production seems to be behind schedule, needing to shoot so many sequences to air that very night, making the director super-stressed.
