Showboyz

Starring: Krystoffer King, Toffee Calma, Archie De Calma and Topher Barretto

Idealistic and talented young provincial boy Tope goes to Manila to search for a long lost childhood friend ostracized by his community for being queer. He starts at the park where he suspects his friend Joaquin frequently visits. He finds out that the park, indeed, is frequented by gays who are looking for paid boys for sex. When a few rowdy vagrants beat him, he is rescued by a transvestite named Jeminai. They instantly become friends as Jeminai hires Tope to be his gay bar caretaker.

How will innocent and impressionable Tope live in the sleazy bar where the boys are expected to lie and bare their bodies for a fee? When Tope meets the bar’s star dancer, Krys, who can no longer have an erection, and help him win in a macho dancing contest. Tope sees a different future for the bar. Before everybody knows it, Tope has been changing everyone, turning them from sleazy to artsy, and giving them hope that perhaps their club can still find salvation. But what if the big project leads to a love triangle between Jeminai, Krys and Tope? Can they still work together to make their dreams come true? Showboyz is both hilarious and poignant, and totally sexy.
