Quick Synopsis
The story follows quadruplet siblings—two boys and two girls—all portrayed by Vice Ganda, who were separated at birth when their grandmother took one boy and one girl away from their mother. The two siblings raised by the grandmother grow up in comfort in the United States, unaware that their mother and the other two siblings, who identify as gay and lesbian, live in the Philippines struggling financially. When the boy in the US is diagnosed with hepatitis and needs a liver transplant, their father reveals the existence of their siblings in the Philippines as potential donors. However, when they reunite, longstanding resentment and conflicts, especially between the girl raised abroad and the gay sibling in the Philippines, create tension that threatens the success of the transplant and the boy's chance of survival.
Detailed Synopsis of Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy
Quadruplet siblings (two boys and two girls) played by Vice Ganda were separated after birth when their grandmother steals two of the siblings (a boy and a girl) away from their mother. The stolen siblings lived a comfortable life in the US, not knowing that their mother and siblings, a gay and a lesbian, struggled to make ends meet in the Philippines. When the boy develops hepatitis that requires him to have a liver transplant from a compatible donor, their father tells them about their siblings in the Philippines, who may be possible candidates as donors. But once the siblings finally meet, pent up resentment and animosity between the girl and the gay siblings, has threatened the chances of the boy sibling's survival.
