Gatas... Sa Dibdib Ng Kaaway, is set during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, in World War II. It's the story of a young woman (Mylene Dizon), whose husband (Jomari Yllana), is arrested by the soldiers of a Japanese garrison, on the suspicion that he is a guerilla. Dizon pleads her case to the garrison's commander (Kenji Motoki), who sympathizes and lets Yllana go; when the commander's wife dies and leaves their son motherless, Dizon (who is nursing), is hired to feed the baby from her own breast.
