Synopsis

Dorinda (Nora Aunor), a state prosecutor turned judge on the edge of a mid-life crisis, finds herself completely alone. Her only son Dennis resides in the US with his wife. She has been a widow for years but lonely she isn’t, she’d always tell everyone. Truth is, she lives an empty life.

Some twist of fate has her meeting Noah (Yul Servo), a young taxi driver who is poles apart from her own social and economic backgrounds. They guy is in mourning after his father, also a cabbie, died in the hands of a hold-up gang.

Dorinda is a judge and menopausal. Noah is a taxi driver and a virile 20-year-old. They don’t fit the equation. But, this what makes their relationship interesting, if not exciting.[2]

Reviews
  • Indeed, no other actress since Erlinda Cortez, the wartime icon of Bagong Maestra vintage who had supposedly known the Stanislavski method, can hold a candle to Nora Aunor’s flame as she lights her way to a frontier all her own, contra mundum—against the world. But there is sadness in this illumination. As she plucks what seems to be a Forget-me-not in her garden at the end of Naglalayag, she realizes that she can only live her love in memory and that she cannot have it all. Not all women discern such gift at the moment of their gender’s proclamation and their body’s corruption.[3]--Patrick Flores, Young Critics Circle
  • Naglalayag is a film which tells its story with the cinematic aesthetic in mind and heart. The film is filled with emotional rigor through which the affairs of the heart are dealt with, and dealt with intelligently. Naglalayag tackles a complex range of human relations premised on romance but problematizes it quite so rigorously so that love, though central in the lives of the characters is continually reread and therefore rewritten.[4] -- Jojo Devera, film blogger
