A series of vignettes is woven into a larger story in this first film to be written and directed by Juan Minon and Miguel A. Trujillo. A writer who works in a bookshop to earn a living meets a wealthy American named Kargus looking for talent to ensconce in his projected art colony in the Gilbert Islands.

One story is about a young man trying to impress his girlfriend with his new car, a car he indirectly borrowed from a rental agency.
