Plot

In the labyrinthine heart of Manila, a young boy named Maxi navigates life with a twist of femininity, defying the gritty streets. At twelve, Maxi embraces his identity, preferring the company of flowers in his hair to the rough tumble of a boy's world. He's the soul of his household, cooking, cleaning, and tailoring for his father and older brothers, all enmeshed in a life of petty criminality. Maxi's spirit is a beacon of sweetness, cleverness, and diligence, his gay identity worn with an effortless grace. He's seen the tender dance of adult affection, watched countless tales of romance unfold on cinema screens, and as he teeters on the precipice of adolescence, he's swept up by a surge of affection for Victor, a benevolent young police officer. But the strings of Maxi's heart are pulled taut as Victor's investigation into local crime begins to point to his family. As the sun rises over the land of the morning, will there be a place for this radiant child of the dawn?
