[Machine Translation] Juan Diego, a more famous writer than he thinks, travels from New York to the Philippines to fulfill an old promise to a dead friend. The single writer's sentimental journey is colored by the memories of his childhood that appear as dreams while he develops a sexual relationship (with Viagra, of course) with the beautiful and suspicious mother and daughter he takes along the way. Juan Diego is 14 years old, born and raised in Mexico. He is always accompanied by his 13-year-old sister Lupe, who can read people's minds and has some precognitive abilities. His mother, a prostitute and church janitor, has abandoned him. The boss of the dump shelters them. A kind-hearted monk takes an interest in Juan Diego, who teaches himself by picking up books from a burning trash heap. One day, the boy's leg is crippled in an accident, and he and his sister are taken in by the church's orphanage, where they eventually join the "Circus of Wonders". The latest long-awaited feature film by the master of tragicomedy!
