Andres and his gay brother barge into a construction site to steal money for Donalds' adoptive mother Pacing for her kidney operation. The plan goes wrong and they are now on a run with a girl Adriana, the secretary there. They go to Donald's ex boyfriend's house Martin to lay low for sometime. Through flashbacks we are told that, Pacing is a trans woman who has been adopting gay street kids who could get abused and provide them with shelter and food. So years ago, when brothers were on street, she took in Donald but not Andres. We also get to know a little about Adriana, whose military father and brothers keep her locked in, so this is her way of escape. Andres and Adriana fall for each other. Mother Pacing refuses to take money earned by wrong methods and pleads the boys to run themselves in. With help from her first adoptive son, who is now a general, she manages to get the brothers reduced sentence.
Pacing's character is the one that stands out the most. She has a noble intention and is doing good but she also never leaves her tongue in the cheek humor, which keeps the moments in the film extremely high and funny. Some of here scenes are truly funny. I also enjoyed the main cashier old lady and her interactions with Pacing. The straight love story and the sex scenes seemed forced in between the gay guys just for titlation. Donald and Andres, both look extremely handsome and do their parts right. They share a good chemistry and did what as required of them. The problem is with the overall story which didn't have much going on in the first place. There was a little crime action at the start, a lot of family melodrama in the middle, with a generous helping of slapstick comedy all around, with sex scenes in the middle for a drastic change of pace, while throwing shade at toxic masculinity and gays in the military. It's a strict time pass and nothing more. (4.5/10)
