Set in a Filipino context, it revolves around a group of elite friends who return to their hometown after living in New York City, showcasing their pretentiousness and disconnection from local realities. The play critiques social class and cultural identity, highlighting the characters' superficiality and the tension between their aspirations and the realities of Filipino life. Through witty dialogue and sharp observations, Tinio explores themes of alienation and the impact of Western influences on Filipino society.
