A rural village, somewhere in the middle of nowhere on the Philippines:
As the village preacher had to go to hospital in the capital, Tonya (Maria
Isabel Lopez) has taken it upon herself to teach the village youth,
especially taking care of their spiritual well-being. Thing is though that
Tonya is more than a little troubled: While still a young and attractive
woman on the outside, she has turned into a hysterical and bigot spinster
and feels a special repulsion towards sex, so much so that when one of her
pupils, Pia (Pia Zabale), tells her she feels a sexual longing for local
butcher Simon (Mark Joseph), Tonya goes so far as to throw hot sand onto
the girl's vagina in order to exorcise her. Actually though Tonya does
that not so much out of religious beliefs but because she secretly longs
for Simon herself, event hough he has a very public affair with Mona, a
married woman.
Enter Selda (Sarsi Emmanuelle), who has moved away from the village
years ago but now comes to pay a visit with her boyfriend Robbie ... and
before long shakes everything up - to a point where she has Simon tie up
Mona in the nude and then has sex with him right next to her ... but she
is caught in the act by both Robbie and Tonya, and when Robbie later tries
to rape Tonya to get back at Selda, the two are caught by some villagers
who put the blame of the scene on Tonya and won't let their children be
taught by her no more.
Still, Selda doesn't want to be Tonya's enemy (no more so than when she
stole Simon away from Tonya years ago) and is probably the only one in the
village who cares for her. The villagers though get so worked up over
Tonya that they want to drive her out of the village. In her time of need,
Tonya finally turns to Simon, whom she always spurned in public despite
her secret longing, and Simon seizes the opportunity and they finally have
sex. Later, Tonya and Selda make up and have sex on the beach, but by that
time, things have already taken a tragic turn. Pia, who has seen Simon
making love to Tonya, tries to seduce Simon as well, but when he pushes
her away, he accidently kills her. Pia's kid friends have witnessed the
whole thing and now, led by Mona's own son, they move in and brutally kill
Simon. When Mona arrives on the scene, her son welcomes her with her
lover's severed head, but she is quick to put the blame on Mona and Selda,
her sworn enemies, and before long the two are found on the beach, still
in the nude, are tied up in a hut, and their guards brutally gangrape them
... and even for this, Tonya and Selda are blamed. Then the hut with the
two women in it is burned to the ground, the women being punished for
nothing, and now the village has a terrible secret to keep ... at least
until the preacher comes back to take confession.
Though in this film, there is nudity and sex aplenty, and the actresses
are all extremely hot, this is more a psychological or psychosexual
exploration of its lead characters, and the emphasis is definitely on its
story not its sexscenes. Still, that doesn't turn Silip into a
brainheavy entity, the film is also extremely atmospheric, if not to say
creepy (the direction really gets the most of its scarce sets and barren
scenery), and at points very savage (with neither the violence nor the sex
ever being gratuitious)
If anything, Silip should be seen as a work of art, if an extremely
entertaining one.
