In 1892, Jose Protacio Rizal was exiled in Dapitan, and he began acclimatizing to his
new place. He helped the local residents by offering free education to all children,
befriending his student Jose Asiniero, and rendering his services as a doctor, including
treating his mother, Doña Teodora Alonzo, who visited him with his sisters Maria and
Narcisa.
He met his fiancée Josephine Bracken who brought her blinded stepfather George
Taufer but later on she left him for her beloved Rizal. They decide to marry, but are
refused a Church wedding on political grounds. The couple settles for a common-law
marriage despite initial opposition from Rizal's family, and have a stillborn son Rizal
names Francisco. The film closes with Rizal leaving Dapitan as the locals mourn him.
An epilogue explains Rizal's intent to work in Cuba and subsequent arrest, his execution
and its birthing the Philippine Revolution.
