Pinay Beauty Teaser

Описание: Thirty two year old Migs, meets Tito Val, a loan-shark in a park beside Pasig river, where tall billboards abound, to settle a serious P180K debt he accumulates to help Annie, his girlfriend of 7 years.

Annie signed up for a discounted “aesthetic plan” to fix herself and fulfill her ultimate dream to be Snow White in Hong Kong Disneyland and be a princess on a parade. She aspires to be with fair, smooth skin with bigger breasts—like a typical Caucasian. This, for her, is what it means to be truly beautiful. And being beautiful means she will earn dollars, and secretly live her romantic princess world, even if it is a job.

Migs explains that he doesn’t have the money but promises to do anything to be able to pay up. But before he finishes his explanation, Tito Val gets distracted by a billboard of Lovely G – a famous actress on a Pinay-Beauty billboard campaign from across the river. Being a big fan of the beauty of the Filipina, Tito Val gives Migs an ultimatum -- he has 3 days to find Lovely G and introduce him to her, and their debt is settled.

How does a regular guy who knows no one in showbiz get to a celebrity?

Accompanied by his friends, Nino, Japo, Isabel and Bas, Migs begins the difficult quest to find and meet the celebrity, a series of comedic trials putting the six-degrees-of-separation theory to a test at the same time learning about the value of being dark skinned and having a more dominant nose, which is all of Annie and the girl he fell in love with 7 years ago.

Pinay Beauty is about the perennial quest of the typical Filipina to look Caucasian and the cost they entail.
