...both as the name of the rundown adult film theatre that serves as the Pineda clan’s home and sole source of income, and as the core group responsible for the film’s relational dilemmas. Set against the background of a lawsuit between matriarch Nanay Flor (Gina Pareño) and her estranged husband, the film displays a day in the life of her large extended family’s impoverished existence.

Martin finished with a mere eight saves—a testament to the Crimson defense—in her 7th victory of the season. Laura Brennan made 39 stops for Quinnipiac. Harvard finishes...
...style, in a chauffeur-driven, mint-green-and-chrome '50s-style car. The Havana Transport Company is typical of the city's fast-growing entrepreneurialism - it's owned by a South African who has emigrated to Mozambique. For $50 an hour, Jaime Sumbane with his Panama hat and Dona Flor cigar will take you on a tour of the city.
