Ang Alamat ni China Doll Movie Plot Summary
In this film, Angelica Panganiban plays Helen, a 27-year old woman who lives with her Chinese-born grandmother (Anita Linda) and is about to finish high school to start a new life. She is dubbed as a former member of a group involved in several murder incidents and uses different identities including Myrna Yu and China Doll. Helen disappeared when an NBI agent (Phillip Salvador) placed her under the witness protection program.
One day, ambitious journalist Perry Nanali (Cesar Montano) wrote a news article about the alleged truth about China Doll that poses risk to Helen’s life. Now, Helen is being haunted by her past that she has been trying to forget. Apparently, the entire movie has a lot of flashback scenes from Helen’s past. In addition, its being non-linear suggests that the truth about China Doll is better not to be exposed and should remain a mystery.
