Alex is a twenty-something year old creative based in Manila. She is out to most people except her best friend Jess who she has been secretly in love with since they were kids. When Jess discovers the truth about Alex, they are forced to confront the feelings they have for each other. The film is a celebration, an ode to the vast and universal idea of love, to the multiplicity of humanity, a visually stylish narrative of inclusivity, acceptance, friendship and love.
