The opening scene of the movie shows
Rizal arriving in Dapitan, an isolated
seaside village in Mindanao, following his
exile by the Spanish government. At first,
Rizal is a bitter and frustrated man, but his
perspective quickly changes as he
recognizes that, even in exile, he can still
make a positive impact on society. We get
to see his kindness and commitment as he
makes a name for himself as a teacher,
doctor, and community leader via his
encounters with the locals.
