MANILA -- Gloria Diaz and Elizabeth Oropesa made waves when they both starred in the 1974 classic, "Ang Pinakamagandang Hayop sa Balat ng Lupa."

Several decades later, the two veteran actresses are reunited again as titular characters in the new comedy-drama film, "Si Chedeng at Si Apple."

The movie centers around the lives of Chedeng (Diaz) and Apple (Oropesa) who are best friends on the cusp of their twilight years.

Chedeng, 66, decides to come out of the closet in the wake of her husband's death. Meanwhile, Apple, 63, beheads her live-in partner after a night of violent encounter.

Together with the severed head placed inside a Louis Vuitton bag, the pair embark on a road trip to find Chedeng's ex-girlfriend.

"Si Chedeng at Si Apple" is part of this year's line-up of the Cinema One Originals 2017 and arrives in selected theaters on November 13-27.

The film is the directorial debut of "Patay Na Si Hesus" writer Fatrick Tabada and "Birdshot" writer Rae Red.
