Storyboard Text
- Noli Me Tangere begins at a dinner party hosted by Captain Don Santiago (Tiago), a wealthy resident of Manila. Guests assembled at the party include other members of the upper class as well as friars of both the Dominican and Franciscan orders.
- During dinner, Don Crisostomo Ibarra arrives at the party being his first stop post-returning from Europe. He is there to visit his fiancée Maria Clara, Santiago's daughter. (The Maria in this scene was only in the imagination of Crisostomo since they did not met that night since Ibarra was chasing someone who knew about his father's death.)
- However, the celebratory atmosphere soon turns tense as one of the friars, Father Damaso, becomes angry at Ibarra's arrival.
- After the party, Ibarra learns that his father, Don Rafael, died while in prison and Father Damaso had his corpse exhumed and removed from the Christian cemetery and the person he told to do it dumped the body into a river. The dramatic tension between Ibarra and Damaso forms the central conflict. (This was according to Lieutenant Guevara a sympathetic friend of his father and to Padre Salvi when he went home in San Diego, his home in Laguna.)
- As Ibarra reacclimates himself to his homeland, he looks to apply his progressive ideals to make life better for the citizens of San Diego.
- After meeting with a school teacher, Ibarra's first act is to build a school. While he gains support from the local government, the religious order within the town views the project with suspicion.
