A wistful, dreamy coming-of-age story about Elian Reyes, a soft-spoken, observant college freshman who moves from his sleepy hometown of Kalinaw to a bustling university in Quezon City. As he stumbles through culture shocks, late-night jeepney rides, soft boys with glitter on their cheeks, and confusing kisses under strobing campus lights, Elian begins a slow, luminous unraveling-into someone freer, kinder, and more fully himself.
