Carmen, a middle-aged cook, is about to close down her eatery at the foot of Mt. Arayat when a white American teenage boy named Mercury approaches her and begs for work in exchange of nothing but shelter. 节奏明快的黑色喜剧,随着故事的展开,两个跨年龄、跨种族、跨性别的人建立起了一种难以置信的尴尬关系,编导似乎以此表达菲律宾人的西方崇拜,道出自身的肤浅,但其实是在谴责白人文化。审阅两个国家、父母和孩子的关系。电影有很多深层次的内容可供挖掘。
