 Andrea, Paano Ba Ang Maging Isang Ina?

A woman activist (Aunor) goes to the mountains to search for her husband who has been salvaged by the military. She leaves her baby with her best friend, an apolitical middle-class woman. When she comes back to claim her baby, now a grown-up boy ,ehr fight for custody also becomes a search for truth and motherhood in an oppressive society which relentlessly destroys one's humanity.
