The film, “The Rapture of Fe”, circulates around the story of Fe who came back home
from Singapore, where she worked as an OFW for a few months, because the opportunities she
had there were decreasing. Later in the story, you would find out that Fe’s sentiment about
Singapore was that it was more of looking for an escape than making a living. Fe returns to her
husband, a man whom she soon feels to have turned aggressive towards her. Though battered,
Fe simply turns the other cheek which increases the amount of violence she receives. Basket of
fruits appear on the front yard of Fe, closer to her room each day, the first two baskets which
she believed to have come from her husband as a peace offering. Dante, her husband, who was
jealous and suspicious, concluded that she was entertaining a suitor. Fe, being afraid of her
husband’s hostile nature and jealousy, began fearing the basket of fruits as they came.
Fe’s need of an escape, or a mere possibility of one, led her to her former suitor, Arturo
who was the only person Fe suspected of being responsible for the fruits she has been
receiving. However, Arturo was not the one who was sending the baskets. He aided Fe in
searching for the person who was sending her baskets of fruits, and even accompanied her to
the local Albularyo where they learned that she might have a Kapre as a suitor. Fearing both her
husband and her mysterious suitor, Fe suggested that she and Arturo elope, an idea Arturo
found impossible and impractical. Arturo was far too tied to his family and commitments to
consider running away with Fe. The film was open ended and was focused on “who would Fe
choose?” her mysterious, and supposedly fantasy, suitor, her violent husband or her helpless
lover?
