In an Island-Barangay in Mauban, Quezon, an 18-year-old closeted gay, high schooler steers through the weight of his hypomanic highs and depressive lows all while navigating the discoveries and complexities of his sexuality, first love, heartbreak, and the narrow confines of his small community. Unknowingly, he tells his story through a performance for the school's dance in a poem contest.
