"Gutay-gutay na ang katawan nyo . . . pati na ang kaluluwa nyo!"– Sharon Cuneta, Pasan Ko ang Daigdig (1987).
Lupe is born into poverty but her dreams are for a better life. She cares for her crippled mother who is also her harshest critic. Poor, crippled persons normally
engender feelings of pity, but Lupe's mother adds to the burden and is
the metaphor that represents the title of the movie—Lupe carries her
mother on her shoulders as she begs for alms. Lupe tries to make her
mother see that there is still hope in life if she would just have the
strength to believe in her own daughter, Carding her
childhood friend supports Lupe in all of her ambitions and dreams.
