Kicking off the Spotlight series on Vilma is the 1981 classic Karma directed by Danny Zialcita. The movie depicts the supernatural relationship between Sara (Vilma) and Eric (Ronaldo Valdez) as reincarnations of old illicit lovers Guada and Enrico, which first began in an uneventful encounter on the eve of Sara’s marriage.

Both entangled in their disarrayed marriages, Sara and Eric cross fates anew and seem to follow the same path Guada and Enrico left off before their tragic deaths at the hands of Guada’s envious husband, Limbo. But in whose spouse does the spirit of Limbo rest?

Also starring in Zialcita’s masterpiece are veteran actors Tommy Abuel, Chanda Romero, Aurora Salve, Suzanne Gonzalez, Martha Sevilla, Odette Khan, Virginia Montes, Bella Flores, Etang Ditcher, Vic Silayan, Fred Montilla, Renato Robles, Ruel Vernal, Augusto Victa, Butz Aquino, Dante Rivero, Leila Hermosa, and Christopher de Leon.

Tickets are now available at https://bit.ly/KarmaOnKTX for only P150.
