The Legend of the Dying Wanton presents two seemingly opposite characters, the devout Doña Ana who tends to the altar of Virgin Mary, and a notoriously wicked young soldier stationed in Manila. The two find common ground, however, when the solider, Currito, comes to Doña Ana's church to pray. When Currito finds himself shipped off the a new battlefield and mortally wounded, he ponders his true nature and comes to understand the power of forgiveness in the Christian faith, while Doña Ana, while pious herself, remains ignorant to Currito's experiences.
