Filipino filmmaker Lav Diaz made history over the weekend when he won his country its first-ever Golden Lion,free eroticism blogs enema stories the top prize at the Venice Film Festival.

The story tracks a 60-something year old woman, Horacia Somorostro (portrayed by Charo Santos-Concio), who spent 30 years in prison for a crime she did not commit. She eventually finds redemption and forgiveness through random acts of kindness she encounters.
"It’s about the Filipino struggle. It’s our story," Diaz told us in an interview before leaving for Venice. "You would see immediate connections to any of us, whether you’re a farmer, an activist, a professional, or ambulant vendors plying the streets.”

It didn’t take long for Diaz to write an adaptation after successfully casting Charo Santos-Concio, in a comeback role for the actress who has spent decades working as a top TV network executive.
(Disclaimer: Santos-Concio is the former president and CEO of ABS-CBN.)
“Charo and I talked and I asked if she was willing to act in a film,” Diaz said. “She said yes if there was good material. After two days we came back to her with the material and she said yes.”

And I’ve always read them through college. Subliminally, they’re always in my head.”
It's hardly surprising to see Diaz's work stretch four hours. The auteur is known for long and winding sequences that have lasted up to seven hours.
Filipinos back home keen to watch his film can look forward to screenings slated in the coming months, including the Metro Manila Film Festival starting on Christmas Day, when all movie theaters in the city are required to only exhibit Philippine-made films.
