In the slums of Manila, 11-year-old Ginto struggles to survive and dreams of becoming a gangster. But when he meets a puzzled Dutch tourist, he is forced to make an impossible decision.
Ginto (11) dreams of a life as a gangster. Anything beats being a bum in the slums of Manila. While he grapples with his feelings for another boy in his gang, he clashes with his overprotective sister Asia, who does sex work in search of a better life. Ginto’s life crosses that of the Dutch tourist Michael, whose world collapsed when he found out he was cheated by his online Philippine girlfriend. When Ginto meets Michael in the red-light district of Manila, he is forced to make an impossible decision that slowly drags him into the garden of earthly delights.
