Nunal sa tubig (1976)

Life on a certain island in Laguna de Bay is changing. The lake is getting polluted by nearby industries and many of the fish are dying. While in the past the island was a tranquil place where most of the people subsisted on fishing, now many of its residents are leaving the island to seek other work. Mang Jacob, an elderly war veteran, laments these changes, telling an ominous story about how the people of the island moved there from a neighboring island called Kabilang Tabi (the other shore) when life there had grown too hard, leaving Kabilang Tabi lifeless.
The island appears serene, with traditional practices still maintained. The rhythms of everyday life seem leisurely, yet there are many tensions behind this peaceful façade. Having lost his sweetheart, Ligaya Paraiso, Julio Madiaga goes to Manila to search for her. A pair of teenage friends, Maria and Chedeng, both fall in love with the ambitious Benjamin. Chedeng is the daughter of the village hilot and learns traditional techniques of birthing from her mother. She chooses to go to the town center to study and practice midwifery. She returns to the island when her mother falls ill, and takes her mother’s place, reverting to folk practices despite her modern training.
Meanwhile, Maria stays on the island and gets pregnant. Benjamin decides to go south to join the Philippine Navy and is away when Maria gives birth to their child. Chedeng delivers the baby, whose head gets injured in the process. Chedeng feels guilty for causing the death of the child of her friend and rival. When a doctor who was her instructor in the town center comes for her, she leaves the island with him. Eventually, Benjamin comes back for Maria, who has grown withdrawn since the death of her child. But though she starts a new life with Benjamin, she is never really the same.
