Four individuals try to conceive an extraordinary family in urban Manila and rediscover that secrets can also be joyous.

Jaime drops by a restaurant to cool off with a glass of beer. Jun waits on him during that random visit. Something happens between them when their eyes meet over the glass of beer - Jaime considers it an accident and Jun considers it luck. Years later, their paths cross again when Jaime's wife, Ria, innocently hires Jun as their family driver and is introduced to Jun's wife, Maya.

Ria and Maya establish a unique connection as women confronted with questions about power and emotions even as they uncover the bond between their husbands. Jaime and Jun are confronted with questions about history and myth.

Told from different but interlocking points of view, the story of Jaime, Jun, Ria, and Maya becomes a song, complete with recurring refrains and a coda, intimating that there are silences to the body that are essential to our understanding of happiness.
