A documentary that follows the life of Jay Loyola, a Filipina transgender dancer and choreographer, from her early years training and performing traditional dance in the Philippines to her later move to the United States. After transitioning and taking the name Sydney, the film documents the practical consequences of this change, including job loss and housing insecurity. Shot over several years, it traces her movements between the U.S. and the Philippines and her decision to return home, where she revisits places from her past, reconnects with family members, and continues her artistic practice.
