This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
Cain and Abel (Filipino: Cain at Abel) is a 1982 Philippine action thriller drama film directed by Lino Brocka from a written story and screenplay by Ricardo "Ricky" Lee. The film's story was inspired by the Biblical story of two brothers, Christopher de Leon and Phillip Salvador respectively played the roles of Ellis and Lorenzo, the two brothers and sons of Senyora Pina (Mona Lisa), who have different views on each other. However, the sibling rivalry became violent and bloody due to the issue of inheritance of their family land and Senyora Pina's favoritism to her younger son. It also stars Carmi Martin as Zita, Ellis's fiancée from Manila; Cecille Castillo as Rina, the house helper, and Ellis's other woman; and Baby Delgado as Becky, Lorenzo's wife.
Cain at Abel was released on October 8, 1982, by Cine Suerte Inc., it served as the first Filipino film entry for the San Sebastián International Film Festival in Spain in the same year, and received accolades from award-giving bodies for cinema. The film was digitally restored and remastered by ABS-CBN Film Restoration Project and Central Digital Lab in 2016; the restored version was premiered on August 11, 2016.
