'Three Years Without God') is a 1976 Filipino period film written and directed by Mario O'Hara that set in the province of Laguna during the Second World War.

The film, set during the Japanese Occupation of the Philippines between 1942 and 1944, tells the story of Rosario (Aunor), a young schoolteacher engaged to be married to Crispin (Roco).

Crispin leaves Rosario to fight the Japanese as a guerilla, and in his absence a Japanese-Filipino officer named Masugi (De León) rapes her.

After the Philippines was conquered by the Japanese forces, many of the townsfolk decided to flee to the mountains due to the fears that the occupiers rumored that they will take advantage of making barbaric and inhumane acts towards the people.

During a conversation, Crispin reveals to them about what happened in Bataan that he witnessed where many soldiers were perished by any kind of brutality including starvation, bayonets, and shooting to death.

Since he was one of the remaining soldiers alive, he decided to join the guerilla to continue their brutal mission to wipe out the Japanese army from the Philippine homeland.

Rosario continues to pray to God for his safety as Crispin stays in their house for a while helping her family with their assigned tasks.

Later at night, Rosario noticed her parents silently watched the bandits stealing their grains and pigs and thus, the beginning of starvation.

The whole family gathered together for supper, eating sweet potatoes from their garden in which Lito always complaining about the same food that they ate for the whole day.

While they were eating, two men (one Japanese-Filipino soldier and his Spanish-looking partner) arrived at the doorsteps of their household and as Mang Andoy opens the door, they entered and asking for directions on going to the next town.

The mass attendees were silent until a woman unleashed a gun and shoots a Makapili member, causing the people to panic until the gunwoman was killed.

Francis hid him to evade being caught and then, he tried to bail his parents out of jail but it never came true as he reported that they were killed by the Filipino prisoners.

This tragic event caused him to become sadistic and joins the Imperial Japanese Army where he told to Francis that in the war, "you must not think, fear God, and be human.

As the bloodbath continues, Rosario, Masugi, and Francis evacuate from the town and seek escape to an Imperial Army truck.

The following morning, Rosario sought refuge at the church as Padre Daniel tells her that the Americans will arrive soon and he plans to move to another town, along with her and her son.

Rosario tries to escape but she was captured by the men and brought in front of the women holding scissors where they will cut her hair as a sign of shame.
