發生在菲律賓某個小漁村的故事...16歲的Astri是一名跨性別女性,她與17歲的Tambulah為一對情侶。 雖然在他們居住的社區中不是一個尋常的景象,但其實沒有人干擾他們的生活,除了雙方的家長...

 

Astri, a 16-year old transwoman, is in a relationship with 17-year old Tambulah. Although it’s an unusual sight at the community where they live, nobody bothers them. Subsisting on the coins people throw at them when they perform their traditional dance at the sea, everything seems perfect except that Badjao traditions and a pact made long ago require Astri to marry a woman she hardly knows.
