This is a story of daytoday living by Renata Lolita Rodriguez, her daughter Esther Nora Aunor and Esthers husband Luis Raul Aragon. Ester and Luis are a couple trying to start their own family while living in Renatas house. The couple can not bear a child due to Esters sterility, which was ironic being that Ester is a family planning program worker. Esters barrenness becomes a source of constant argument between the husband and wife, aggravated by Esters unwillingness to allow Luis to seek employment out of the country. Renata often acts as a pacifier of her daughter during the couples arguments. Unfortunately, Ester and her mother get into a heated argument resulting to Renata feeling emotional about it. She then confides to Luis about her problems, which results to one night of passionate union. The single night of union impregnates the aging Renata who refuses to have an abortion. Renata and Luis try to hide their fault until Ester discovers the truth accidentally when Renata gave birth to her child.Brocka specializes in acting vehicles. Aunor clearly deserves the Best Actress Award. In fact, she deserves it more than Rodriguez, if only because she is younger and has less experience. Before Ina Ka Ng Anak Mo, only Charito Solis could stand up to Rodriguez now Aunor is on par with both veteran actresses. ........
