Movie Haiku:Maximo (Lopez) is the youngest son in a Philippine family who’s taken on a female identity, doing all the family’s housework & hanging out with girls. But his life comes apart when he becomes infatuated with a young policeman undergoing his own initiation. Strong central character, but weak, confusing finish.
