Synopsis

Jaya, a non-binary teacher and former comedian whose career ended after Typhoon Haiyan devastated the Philippines, travels the country to win a drag beauty pageant and prize money. Meeting Arnel, a student searching for his father, changes their solitary plans. Blending surreal comedy with documentary realism, this genre-defying journey explores climate change, colonial legacy, and queer identity through humor, resilience, and connection.
