Anakan Mo Ako - Story of a Tribe’s Sexual Custom

Instead of putting the characters in modern life back in the 90s, Anakan Mo Ako deserves a "seat" in our Filipino bold movies titles list because it is a little more creative than modern life. In detail, this movie put all of its characters in a hidden tribe living in a forest and having their sexual customs. The tribe has only one old dominant male living with many other young and nubile females.

Following this, all members of this tribe have to conform to the rule that the male can only mate with other females when his wife just gave birth to a child.

Because of this rule, the tension of other females is high, and everything started to become more complicated with the existence of a new male who got lost while exploring the forest of this tribe.

Specifically, this movie so bold is exploring the tribe customs and scenes of shows too much skin.
