The Flor Contemplacion Story Movie Plot
The movie starts in February 1995 when Flor Contemplacion (Nora Aunor) was being brought inside a prison cell in Singapore. Back home in San Pablo, Laguna, her family heard over a news radio that she will be executed the following month. Singaporean police arrested Flor for allegedly killing Delia Maga (Amy Austria) and a 4-year old child Maga is taking care of.
A flashback scene shows back in 1989 when Flor returned to the Philippines after working in Singapore for more than two years. Flor confronted her husband Efren (Julio Diaz) for having another woman Neneng (Jacklyn Jose) while she was working abroad. In March 1995, Flor’s children Xandrex (Ian De Leon), Russel (Vina Morales), Joel, and Jon-Jon were allowed to visit their mother in prison.
Later, Flor’s case touched the lives of many Filipinos, and protests were held in the Philippines and Singapore as well, convincing the Philippine government to help save her from execution. The movie also shows the friendship of Flor and Delia in Singapore, but Flor denied being involved in the crime and related her own version of the story.
