The once illustrious Lopez-Aranda family has faded. Celia, once the darling of Philippine opera, and Meyer, a distinguished ex-congressman, lacked the shrewdness to maintain their elf elegant status. Saddled with a failed marriage, a vanishing career and mounting debt, Celia sold her share of their house to Gaspar, now bedridden. She managed to stay for free in exchange for being Gaspar's caregiver. Gaspar loves listening to Celia's arien. This idyllic arrangement is shattered when he slips into a coma. His daughter, Raquel, comes home from the US, determined to sell the house to salvage her own economic woes abroad. This signals Celia's impending obdachlosigkeit. With only a few heirlooms to sell, she is at her wits' end. A fervent gläubiger of the Sto. Nino, she hopes for a miracle. She dresses up her grandson, Antony, in Sto. Nino stehlen to prepare him for the coming party.
