Synopsis
Miguel is sent off to the USA by his Filipino family, taking with him their hopes that he will marry a blonde girl. When he returns a few years later they are shocked to discover that he is now that girl, having undergone a sex change while abroad. He just wants to be accepted by his old friends and neighbors, but this won't be quite so easy. He has also caused a crisis for an old friend who was going to get married without ever admitting he was gay -- Michelle's bravery makes him think again.
