A trapped Spanish garrison endures a months-long siege, facing disease, desertion, and the tragic revelation of Spain's defeat.
In 1898, a band of Spanish soldiers heroically defended Baler against Filipino forces for 337 long and grueling days. The battle, now referred to as the Siege of Baler, is the setting of a forbidden love between a Mestizo soldier and a Filipina lass who lived at the end of the 19th century.
