It stars veteran actor Eddie Garcia who received the Best Actor award for his role in the drama-comedy film that talks about the outing of a gay man in his 70s who, all set to wait for  his death willfully distributing his belongings, is left no companion but a stray dog named Bwakaw whose death changes his views about life and death allowing him to self-realize, retract his wills, and relish life as it is supposed to be.
