Bethesda, a Filipina-American performance artist, moves into San Francisco's Castro district in search of her birth mother. While living in a communal artists' loft, she ends up going to local gay bars with her roommates, all while pulling together clues to her mother’s identity. Convinced that a successful autobiographical show in the lively San Francisco art scene will catapult her to success, Bethesda grapples with the realities of gay life and the theater world.

H.P Mendoza returns to capturing the spirit of big-budget Hollywood musicals on a shoe string budget after the success of his first feature, Colma The Musical.
