Mater Dolorosa (2012)

At the heart of every Filipino film is the family, according to Adolfo B. Alix Jr. In his cool yet charged Mater Dolorosa, the actress Gina Alajar, who is very well known in the Philippines, plays a woman who dominates illegal activities in an old district of Manila. Her family's welfare has to be weighed against the interests of the criminal business she runs with her children.
