Perspective

When Choleng falls in love with the town priest Julio, the townspeople turn on her when they find out the pair will elope, fearing Julio will abandon his priestly duties to pray for and heal the people. Little did a heavily pregnant Choleng know on the night of their escape that a storm will thwart their plan: Julio gets into an accident and dies as Sabel is born. With Julio's death, the townsfolk think Choleng's daughter is a curse as more bad things occur. She decides not to argue, and ignores the problems around her. To give Sabel a better future, she flees the village with her mother Amparo to start anew. When the three find help from dearest friends, they begin a new life in a kinder community. The sickly baby Sabel grows up, determined to fight for her family. Fearing she will know her true parentage and look for her father, Choleng does everything in her power to prevent Sabel from doing so. Choleng falls for Jimmy, who is also loved by Margaret. Choleng refuses Jimmy's sincere love and even offers marriage, accepting her past. But, Choleng and Sabel's love for Jimmy and accepting him as a father will only mean to Choleng that she does not want to lose him as for Sabel as she grows up. And even for love, there is a solace she finds this into Dido and Raymond. But time comes again when she will face the same situation as her mother and this. Is love a sin when one's feelings are true as she shows the townspeople and people around her that she is not cursed with this life and that life has no meaning without love?
