Saan Nagtatago ang Pag-ibig?





"Si Val! Si Val! Palagi na lang si Val! Si Val na walang malay! Si Val na ang tanging kasalanan ay maging anak sa labas!"– Vilma Santos, Saan Nagtatago ang Pag-ibig? (1987). The story revolves around the life of Val, a mentally retarded man. His elder brother Rick got his girlfriend Stella pregnant, so Rick coerced Stella to marry Val to avoid scandal. But even in Val's pitiful state, it was amazing that Val learned to love and care for Stella. As time passed, Stella also learned to love his husband back. Together with his adopted family Stella learned to love the retarded Val and at the same time discovered that Val is a product of infidelity that cause the suicide of Rick and Val's father. But a tragedy is destined to end this otherwise beautiful story of true love. Unfortunately Stella's new found love ended when Val accidentally fell from a window when he had a fight with his irrational brother one night.
