The Woman Who Left (Filipino: Ang Babaeng Humayo) is a 2016 Philippine drama film written, produced, edited, and directed by Lav Diaz.

The Woman Who Left was the first film made by Charo Santos-Concio when she returned to acting after stepping down as president and CEO of ABS-CBN Corporation.

This belief was cemented when Somorostro later found out that her former rich lover, Rodrigo Trinidad (Michael de Mesa) was the one who framed her for a crime.

[5] The film was primarily shot in Calapan, Oriental Mindoro, the Philippines which is the hometown of lead actress, Charo Santos-Concio.

According to Diaz, the film was inspired by the 1872 short story "God Sees the Truth, But Waits" by Leo Tolstoy.

The playdate of The Woman Who Left was moved to 28 September 2016 after Ma' Rosa was selected as the Philippine submission for the award instead.
