BALAY DAKU (BIG HOUSE)
THE FIRST ILONGGO FULL-LENGTH FEATURE FILM EVER MADE ...
After several years of living in Metro Manila, Julio, the youngest son of the Gonzalez family, returns for vacation in his home of Bacolod City, Negros Occidental. Accompanying him is his Iloilo born and Metro Manila lived wife, Stella.
Upon their arrival in Bacolod, everything seems to be normal and routine. Julio reunites with his widowed mother Inday Carmen, his elder brother Boy, and his old friend Isabela. He introduces Stella to all of them.
As the days and weeks progress, things start to turn sour and frustrating as old and unresolved personal issues, that Julio left behind, start to creep back into their lives. Stella is left to adjust herself to this different environment and people, as they in turn try to adjust to her liberated ways.
Emotional undercurrents swirl. Strains on relationships between the family members slowly start to reveal themselves, and finally come to a boil.
