Rich and beautiful half-sisters (Gutierrez, Quinto, Calzado, Rivera) meet their long-lost half-sis, Lugaluda Lugalu (Alcasid). Although they were at first suspicious of Lugaluda, the girls eventually warm up to the exotic princess from the Republic of Kwelali. Alcasid, who crosses gender lines for this adult comedy, describes Lugaluda as ?maternal and loving.? ?She saves her sisters from various predicaments and finds love in a young man at the same time,? says Alcasid. Gutierrez, Quinto and Calzado agree that Alcasid spices up the ?Desperadas? sequel with his hilarious portrayal.
