Plot

edit

The drama-comedy Filipino film depicts Bekikang or Beki and his friends. This was inspired by the life story of the late director Wenn Deramas. As Beki was bullied for being gay as he was growing up, his father taught him to defend himself in fights. Beki is a caring, responsible and hardworking fellow of the family. He is a balut vendor along with his friends. One day, Beki and his friends catch a new stud in town who is in trouble and needs help from being bullied. Beki steps up for the good-looking Fortunato who becomes his love interest. However, Fortunato falls for the local waitress, Natalie, at a restaurant Beki takes him to. Beki soon becomes jealous of Natalie. Unfortunately, Fortunato gets Natalie pregnant and Beki becomes involved with raising their baby after Natalie decides to leave Fortunato to work in Japan. Beki accepts their baby as his own once he learns that Fortunato and Natalie have broken up. Fortunato also decides to leave the country to work. Beki's family is not too fond of Beki taking care of Fortunato's baby and this encourages Beki to leave their house to live with his friends. Soon, the three gay men raise the child under stable conditions until the comeback of the child's biological parents, Fortunato and Natalie. The couple is back together and they want their child back. Will Fortunato and Natalie be able to get their child back from Bekikang?
