A stage mother drives her younger son to his ‘stardoom’ to make up for her downward slide from her bourgeois origins.

Plot

It tells the story of a frustrated and ambitious stage mother, Toyang (played by Lolita Rodriguez) who forces her son, Joey (Walter Navarro) into a showbiz career and ultimately ends up in a tragedy. 70s teenage heartthrob, handsome, clean-cut and the boy-next-door type, Walter Navarro starred as the son, Joey Galvez, who at the peak of his stardom was gunned down by his erstwhile girlfriend Nina (Lotis Key), in a fit of jealousy and anger. Director Lino Brocka directs "Stardoom" for Lea Productions, his "indictment of the corruption of values in the local film industry."
