Metro Manila

Oscar Ramirez is a rice farmer who lives in Banaue with his wife Mai and their children Angel and Baby. When his rice crops are no longer profitable, he relocates his family to Metro Manila in hopes of obtaining a higher quality of life. While searching for a job, they are offered shelter at a low-income apartment building, but are shortly evicted by the police for squatting, as the men who offered them the apartment turn out to be swindlers.
