In order to raise funds for a house in Manila, a group of homeless gay seniors reunite and revive their former drag queen performances.

Short Synopsis

Fresh from Japan, Amparo, a former dweller of the Home for the Golden Gays, is excited to see all her gay senior friends whom she hasn’t seen for so many years now. When she arrives, she’s surprised to see that the house is locked and the golden gays are nowhere to be found.

Amparo starts looking for them one by one. Now that they’re reunited, they’re faced with the real problem: where will they be staying? Amparo suggests that maybe it’s time for them to relive their drag queen days. Despite the gays worrying about how they’re old and sick, Amparo tells them that nothing will happen if they don’t try.

In one of their shows, they impressed a rich old designer. The designer promised them a home, but it turned out to be a false hope. More problems arise; some of them are diagnosed with osteoporosis and prostate cancer, and their funds are going nowhere. One day, terrible news came: the old home was burning. All the senior gays go to the home to watch it burn. While the house is burning, a news network appears and sees the golden gays at the fire.

Days have passed, and they continue performing, hoping that they can still earn money for a new home. To their surprise, the newswoman, along with the owner of a huge gay bar, told them that they’re planning to do a big fundraiser for the golden gays, perhaps to find a home—no promises, but it will surely be great exposure.
