After meeting during the 1980s at the first gay pride parade in Malate, the talkative Lianne (Kris Aquino) and the colorfully gay Osmond (Eric Quizon) become fast friends. Over the next 30 years, the two do everything together... dining, shopping, discussing life, and even looking for the perfect man.
