El filibusterismo

Juan Crisostomo Ibarra has changed his name and identity to rich jeweler Simoun. In disguise, he travels the world amassing wealth, which he intends to use to topple the corrupt and abusive regime in his native land. But Simoun's real motive is personal. He wants to rescue his beloved, Maria Clara, from the convent and avenge the death of his father. In a forest on Christmas Eve, medical student Basilio recognizes Simoun as the man who helped bury his mother Sisa under a tree over 10 years ago. Simoun is in the forest to retrieve the gems he buried near Sisa's grave. As the film progresses, all the secrets and intrigues are revealed, and the plotters' plan fails. A good Filipino priest throws Simoun's jewels away, thereby eliminating the greed, violence, and other evils they might have provoked.
