After a seven year absence from the Philippines, a young man who left the country as Miguel, returns home as Michelle after having had a sex change operation. Her father reacts with anger to the news and her mother feels embarrassed that Miguel's decision will scandalize the family. But Michelle remains resolute that she is not leaving until she gains her family's acceptance of her new identity. Michelle also renews a friendship with Julio, whom he knows is gay, and tries to talk him out of his recent decision to marry a woman.
