Sergio, now an elderly man, maintains his family thanks to a show in the streets of Manila performed by his two skilful and beloved dogs, Habagat and Bagwis. His wife left him taking away their youngest son but Sergio cannot accept this and wants to get the child back at all costs. The film is set in a decrepit cemetery in the capital, a real place and at the same time a stage for poverty and dreaming.
