Heremias: Book One – The Legend of the Lizard Princess (also Unang Aklat: Ang Alamat ng Prinsesang Bayawak) is a 2006 Filipino crime drama film written and directed by Lav Diaz. It stars Ronnie Lazaro and Sid Lucero, alongside a cow named Jordan. The 8-hour digital film (519 minutes) was produced by Celso De Guzman, with principal cinematography by Tamara Benitez, and was shot in Pililla, Rizal, Luzon. The film is "the story of a farmer who makes a pact with God to save a girl from rape."
Heremias is a poor farmer who travels with a group of salesmen who sell appliances to people from their wagons. Heremias works with these salesmen in making their sales, but grows dissatisfied with the monotonous life that comes with this job. The other salesmen start noticing Heremias' unenthusiastic attitude while on the job, and Heremias eventually tells them that he wishes to leave the group of salesmen. The other salesmen attempt persuading him to come back, but they eventually realize that he wishes to travel on his own.
Heremias leaves the group on one of the wagons, and starts traveling on his own. As he continues traveling, he encounters a harsh rainstorm as he is traveling. The rainstorm uproots some tree branches, causing them to fall in his wagon's path. Heremias has to clean the path so him and his cow can go through the path. He manages to clean out the path and him and his cow are eventually able to get through after a difficult struggle to clean the path out. Heremias then continues traveling with his cow and then finds a place to stay for the night.
The next day, he decides to stay there and tend to his cow. That night, while he is resting, Heremias meets two men who are staying for the night. He talks with the two men, along with another man who comes along, and they have dinner together as they talk. Heremias then goes to sleep, complaining that he feels tired and "dizzy". The two men then continue talking as Heremias goes to sleep.
The next day, Heremias wakes up, only to find that his cow has been stolen and his cart was burned the other night by the two men. He also finds that all the appliances in the cart were taken by the two men. Heremias breaks down crying at this realization, and then realizes he must walk for the rest of his journey. He takes his remaining belongings with him and leaves, continuing his journey.
Heremias then asks to meet with Chief Fredo, one of the town officials, and Fredo sends his men out to search through the house to try to find the stolen belongings. However, they cannot find them, and the search proves unsuccessful. However, Heremias attempts to prove his case by recounting the story from that night to the officials. The other prime suspects, including the two men who were there that night, give their own accounts of what happened that night.
After this, Chief Fredo tells Heremias that it is best he leave the barrio and go someplace else where it is safe. Heremias tells Fredo that he will be leaving soon, and prepares to leave. However, before Heremias leaves, one of the officers, Sgt. Querubin asks him to consider paying him 50,000 pesos to support his case, that way the officials can resolve the case. However, Heremias tells Querubin that he doesn’t have money, and won’t be able to pay. Querubin tells him to consider paying the money, though.
Heremias then takes a bus, and, while on the bus, has a conversation with a man who tells him a legend of a “lizard princess” who supposedly controls one of the villages by keeping criminals out of the village. After Heremias takes the bus, he meets up with his salesmen again.
