 ITANONG MO SA BUWAN

A female teller is held hostage in a bank robbery gone haywire and taken in an isolated hut in the outskirts of the city. After fleeing her abductor, the woman who is married to a medicine student with a domineering mother has to make a statement and relate her experience to the police. Her account runs contrary to the version of her tormentor who claims that he is her lover and that they are together in masterminding the heist.
