Carreon and it tells a story about a man's guilt over his affair with another woman that hurt the feelings of his long time girlfriend. It starred Vilma Santos, Nora Aunor, and Christopher de Leon in leading roles, and also had pre-stardom actors in minor roles, like Rene Requiestas and Sandy Andolong, who would later become de Leon's wife.
