In the neon-lit underbelly of Manila, a group of young men work the streets near a bus station. After the death of one of them, the remaining four decide to fulfill his last wish: to bring his body back to his home village. Zion, a mysterious stranger with a troubled past, insists on joining them, despite the reluctance of the group's leader. As the boys travel across the country, their bonds grow stronger, taking them on an incredible journey. Capturing the soul of the Philippines—and Manila in particular—Petersen Vargas paints a portrait that is both social and intimate. Blending dream and reality, he makes us feel the importance of chosen families, especially within the queer community.
