Volta is a 2004 action-adventure-comedy film directed by Wenn V. Deramas and starring Ai-Ai delas Alas as Volta. It was released under Star Cinema, ABS-CBN Film Productions. The story concerns an ordinary woman who was given the power of electricity and used this gift for the common good by becoming a caped crusader donning a red suit. The film would serve as the inspiration for 2008 TV series of the same name, albeit a different setting, storyline and a more comedic tone.

Plot

Perla is a dressmaker who lives and works for her siblings, Percy and Penny. After being hit by lightning thrice, Perla discovers that she has developed superpowers: She can generate heat and electricity with her hands, and lightning flashes come out of her hands. With these superpowers, she becomes famous as the superhero, Volta.

Volta's main objective is to prevent Celphora, an ambitious engineer, from spreading evil in the country. Celphora, on the other hand, wants to capture Volta to use her as a power source for her Telstra Technology.

Volta is a story about life's drama, life's humor, and life's real meaning amidst extraordinary twists and turns in an ordinary life. In the end, what matters most are family and the love that doesn't fail to give a "spark" of hope to anyone... superhero or not.[1]

gollark: SAN stuff is just distributed raw-block storage, right? How do you actually use that? Don't filesystems basically need exclusive access to the storage?

gollark: Why would anyone *do* that?!

gollark: I think the key difference is that in a forum it's a thread per issue versus discord being a thread per topic.

gollark: That's not really how you'd actually do it on a forum, though. It'd be "how do I make this server not explode" in its own thread, not "everything goes under a <#192269258900635648>".
