Sister Stella L Movie Plot Summary
At the start of the movie, Sister Stella Legaspi (Vilma Santos) is a nun who serves as a guidance counselor in their congregation.
Then, her ex-boyfriend and now journalist Nick Fajardo (Jay Ilagan) visits her and asked her about her opinion on nuns being involved in socio-politics. She told him she knows only a little about it.
But one day, Sister Stella Bautista (Laurice Guillen), a radical colleague of Sister Stella L, went to their congregation and ask for help about a protest strike against the unfair labor practices of a local oil factory.
