Malikot ang Agos features a pretty campus girl, Veronica Gatchalian (Allona Amor) who gets herself into a complex set of problems. Defying what to her is her lola's unusual strictness, Vero gives in to her promiscuity. She goes into staying out late with her friends, drinking and sleeping with boyfriend Rico (Shanghai). Having peeped at her lola's tenant Totoy (Fernando Montenegro) bathing naked, she tempts him into giving in to her fleshly desire. Her string of troubles begin when she disregards her lola's instructions to stay home and nurse her continually sick mother, instead of attending the "birthday" party of a friend. Defiant, she goes off, leaving her consenting mother to a specially challenged Uncle Boyong and his playmate, a little boy Ato. From hereon, Vero's life takes a number of bizarre turns.
The movie's technical aspects leave much to be desired. For one, it includes details that are not relevant to the plot. Instances are the old man Boyong playing very odd games with Ato; Vero's flashback involving her mother and herself as a girl, and instructions for Vero to give her Uncle Boyong a bath which never happens. Two, it is unimaginable that a young woman's rebellion against parental authority could take her through so many extraordinary incidents, which she escapes unharmed and untraumatized. The so-so acting shows an improperly directed film and an inexperienced cast. The scenes are stagy.
