An unnamed boy goes to one of Manila’s famed Macho Dancer bars and becomes entranced with the beauty of a performer. Boy heads out to the club where dancers try one after another to seduce the lone cute boy in their mostly empty club. Boy resists them all until Aries hits the stage. With an animal magnetism that grabs the boy's attention, Boy runs home to get the money to rent his first man. He sells his childhood collection of comics and action figures so he can participate in a rite of manhood. The Boy brings Aries home and they bond — and not just sexually —. Aries feels connected that stays to ring in the New Year with his new buddy and mom. (Tagalog and Filipino with English subtitles)
