Synopsis: Riding on the crest of the enormously successful Till We Meet Again and of the newly revived Nora-Tirso-Elwood tandem, this sixteen-day quickie was rushed to catch the deadline of the Metro Manila Film Festival. Prodded by Chris Villena (Rowell Santiago), her newfound manager, Amy Mercado (Nora Aunor), the other half of a winning duo in a provincial amateur contest, leaves her partner, Renan (Tirso Cruz III) for the city to try to make it as a singing star. On her way up, she gets to meet, push, shove, trip and step on different entertainment figures. Cynthia Elicano (Jackie Lou Blanco), Vina Salcedo (Lani Mercado) and most prominently Jeff Carbonell (Miguel Rodriguez) who becomes her transient paramour. Stumbling down, depressed and lonely, Amy seeks out her former self and gets renewed, ironically with the advice of her former singing partner and loyal lover, the dying Renan. Alone on stage, as she sings in a successful concert, Amy pines for her lost love.
