Synopsis

Jaya is a comedian whose job hosting a late-night television show ended due to a natural disaster that devastated the Philippines. In the aftermath they returned to their career as a school teacher. In a last ditch attempt at finding fame, Jaya decides to travel across the country in hopes of winning a beauty pageant and the prize money that comes with it. But before they can leave, a chance encounter with Arnel, a student going the same way in search of family, complicates their solitary plans. As they travel seemingly countless miles together on foot, bike, and boat, the unlikely duo find themselves forever changed by each other and those they encounter on their journey.
