Synopsis

Dorinda (Nora Aunor), a state prosecutor turned judge on the edge of a mid-life crisis, finds herself completely alone. Her only son Dennis resides in the United States with his wife. She has been a widow for years but lonely she isn't, she'd always tell everyone. Truth is, she lives an empty life.

Some twist of fate has her meeting Noah (Yul Servo), a young taxi driver who is poles apart from her own social and economic backgrounds. They guy is in mourning after his father, also a cabbie, died in the hands of a hold-up gang.

Dorinda is a judge and menopausal. Noah is a taxi driver and a virile 20-year-old. They don't fit the equation. But, this what makes their relationship interesting, if not exciting.[1]
