Fifty-year-old Carmen (Pokwang) lives alone and owns an eatery at the base of Mt. Arayat. She once aspired to have her own cooking show, but because business isn't really booming, she plans to close her carinderia permanently. One stormy night, a bleached-blond American boy (Bret Jackson) named Mercury ("Like the drugstore?" Carmen observes) stumbles in and asks for a place to stay and some food. The next day, he asks for a job in order to continue staying at her house-slash-eatery. Carmen, seemingly enamored by this new, myserious thing in her life, agrees.
