My Boyfriend Is a Sex Worker (2024) Movie Script
By the way, dont forget mom and dads
renewal of vows.
Theyre so excited to meet you.
So this is what you call simple?
Were entering a palace!
Huh? Youre overreacting.
This is just dads rest house.
Okay, that sounds a bit off. Sorry.
Little Prince Cedie, is that you?
I knew youre well-off,
but I never imagined youre filthy rich!
No biggie.
Were just living comfortably.
Well thats what the bourgeoisie say.
Now Im nervous.
Ace, what if I just go home?
Hey! Chill!
Im here with you. Okay?
But of course, I wont force you.
Well, what worries me is that
your mom might offer me
ten million pesos to dump you.
I might just give in since I wont be able
to do anything about it
even if I love you so much.
For real? You wont haggle
for 20 million?
Youre right, Ill play hard to get
to raise the offer!
Youre crazy!
Okay.
Well, to tell you honestly,
thats not even impossible
because
I have something to tell you,
okay?
Mom is a bit of
a drama queen.
Just like you?
Stop it!
I thought youre nervous, huh?
It doesnt seem like it.
Hi, sir!
Im just trying to calm my nerves.
Its not like Im ashamed
of what I do for a living.
But of course,
I understand why people
suddenly change
when they find out.
Gio...
you are more than just your job, okay?
If only they see you
the way I see you,
theyll love you for sure.
Besides,
youre freaking good at your job.
Wow!
A five-star review
from my number one loyal customer.
Of course! You crazy fool!
Okay.
If you want,
we dont have to tell them just yet.
Like I said, it doesnt matter.
Its fine.
But if I would,
I would do it for you,
for the future of our relationship.
Thank you, Gio.
Welcome.
Madly in love?
Kissing all the time?
Stop being envious, sis.
Really?
In front of our parents house?
- You! I missed you!
- Hello! Hello!
You must be the famous Gio?
Hello, maam, flowers for you.
Sir.
Gio.
How courteous.
Stop acting like a stranger.
Im Malou,
and this is my husband,
my coconut pie,
Azi Wang.
Wow, youre so sweet, rice cakes!
Anyway,
no need to call me Sir.
Its too
Its too formal.
Just call me Vice Mayor Azi Wang.
Just so you know.
- Oh, hello, Vice Mayor Azi Wang...
- Hello, hello!
- and Maam Malou Wang.
- Long live!
Excuse me?
Its Malou Mendoza-Wang.
Havent briefed him yet?
Sorry
Dont you dare forget its Mendoza,
or else
Actually, I can pass off as your big sis.
Big sis?
I thought youre the youngest.
You know, I like him.
I like you.
Oh my god, go take notes.
- Thats how you should flatter.
- Is that--
Im not trying to flatter you.
Ive been trying to stop myself
from asking about your skin care routine
because youre glowing.
Youre silly!
Its just hydration
and proper sleep.
Plus weekly derma visits.
I think, you can achieve this too.
Youll get there,
no worries!
Ace told me youre a teacher?
Well, thats a hobby.
What Im passionate about is
being an influencer.
Heart finger!
Hobby?
Um...
Hobby, meaning...
just a pastime?
Why do you seem so confused?
Hes so confused, isnt he?
Stop it, sis.
What?
Actually, I own
and operate
a private pre-school.
I spend most of my time there.
Lets go inside?
Mom and dads been waiting.
Cant you see were still talking?
So mindful of him to
notice my glowing skin.
Its so hard to...
Of course, we can still talk inside.
Definitely! Youre a bright kid!
- Alright then.
- Okay, fine.
Honeycured, bring these in.
- Sure.
- Let me do it.
- No, I got this.
- No, no.
Let him do it.
Just let him.
- Thank you.
- Hand them to me.
Okay, thank you.
- This is public service.
- Yep, public service.
- Ill just think of you as my constituent.
- Yes!
Serve the people!
Of course!
I love you!
Love, huh.
My son!
My unico hijo.
My favorite.
Im still here, mom.
Me too...
My favorite son.
Of course, youre my favorite daughter.
Wow, mom!
Ma.
Ma, wheres dad?
Willie?
Willie!
Honey.
My son!
I thought you'd be coming tonight.
Sorry, were not quite ready.
Yeah! Seems like it.
Mom... Dad... I want you
to meet my boyfriend, Gio.
Hello.
Finally!
I was looking forward to meeting you, Rio.
Its Gio.
Yeah, Leo.
Finally,
I can stop worrying about
who captured the heart
of my precious son!
Kidding!
What's that word you like to use?
Charot.
- Charot.
- Charot!
- Charot! Just kidding!
- Charot.
Its fine.
Youre so cute, auntie.
Can I call you auntie?
Of course!
But you can call me Judge Angelica Mendoza.
Actually, thats just a title.
Im not comfy being called judge
because Im not even judgmental.
So is it okay if I call you auntie?
No! Call me Judge
Charot!
Charot!
I love charot!
I love using that word.
Charot.
Hey, youre scaring away
your sons boyfriend.
You can call me
Uncle Willie.
The Uncle Mayor
of Gen Zs!
I learned that from a workshop.
I think we should make that our slogan
for the upcoming elections.
Its beautiful, dad!
Perfect!
It truly reflects you
as a woke mayor.
Its beautiful!
Im lost for words.
Hey, time for lunch!
Come on!
I hope you don't mind the simple lunch
we had prepared.
We were not expecting you today.
Lets go!
Come on, come on.
Come on, let's eat.
Get their stuff.
To their room.
Thank you, Vice Mayor.
Honey...
We're about to eat.
Can you do that later?
Feeling Gen Z?
The weddings this Sunday, right?
Why are we having this feast?
So this is your simple lunch?
I know right.
Thats my mom for you.
If you havent noticed yet,
my parents are not a fan of subtlety.
And it shows!
Im sorry, this is only what we managed
to have for lunch.
No worries, Uncle.
So this is how you prepare a simple lunch.
I can only imagine if only
you had time to prepare.
Anything, for my precious son.
Amazing, this seems more than
what we had for my last birthday.
Wow!
Youre overreacting.
Thats not true.
Youre just too much!
Remember how we fed so many people
for your feeding program
slash birthday party?
So Deo,
Im sure youre very proud
to be my sons boyfriend.
Mom,
- its Gio.
- Very proud.
You should be.
Because Im very proud of him.
Have you heard
hes a consistent honor student,
and now, he has a high-paying job.
Hes also so good at sports.
A double-gold medalist at that.
- Great.
- And hes so handsome!
Were good, mom.
- Carlos Yulo who?
- Thats enough.
As Ive noticed.
Thats why I can only see Ace
as my successor after my term.
That is if I wont run for the position,
but... thats quite impossible.
I'm a sure candidate, always.
Dad...
you know how I feel about politics.
Its just not for me.
Youre right!
Its not for everyone!
It really depends
if one deserves to be the mayor,
- if one has the heart to
- You know what,
Ace never disappointed us
with his decisions.
So, Im sure,
youre also an achiever
and you have a respectable job.
Because why would my son choose a nobody
to be his boyfriend, right?
The food is so delicious!
Lets eat first?
Gio, let's eat.
Don't be shy.
Go try this.
Come on, lets eat.
You wanna try this?
To be honest, I may not be as smart,
or as brilliant like Ace.
But I believe,
Im doing okay now.
Oh, thats good.
Ive already lost count
of my sons achievements.
Whats your work and background,
if you dont mind?
Hes a content creator.
Hey! Thats my dream job!
- Thats nice!
- Content crea Im sorry.
Great! Were actually
hiring influencers
for our upcoming projects.
Oh, perfect!
Not to offend you, Gio,
but is content creation
even a high-paying job?
Thats so hard to say...
Is that even a job though?
Mom
Hey, mom.
Well, actually,
its not an easy job.
I really had a hard time
when I was just starting.
But this job provided me the chance
to help with my moms cancer treatment.
Condolences.
- Hey!
- Shes still alive.
Im so sorry, Gio.
Its okay.
My moms already recovered.
But...
since my dad passed away...
Condolences.
- Thank you.
- Azi, stop it.
I became our familys breadwinner
We wont have food on our table
if I wont make enough.
Im the one sending my siblings to school.
Then our mom suddenly got sick.
So I had no choice,
but to work hard
and be resourceful.
Because of my job,
my mom is now cancer-free.
And I think that is
my greatest achievement in life.
Youre making me cry.
That was very moving.
Nothing special.
Thats making you cry?
Thats why I do my best for the voters.
I mean,
the less fortunate.
The less fortunate, yes.
Gio, I have so much respect for you.
Well, I know my son is right
for choosing you to be his boyfriend.
Lets eat.
Eat well.
You try this.
- Lets eat.
- Try the watermelon.
Why am I here again?
Bravo, bravo.
What for, maam?
What a beautiful sob story
about your mom
having cancer.
So moving. So touching.
But it was not a sob story.
If you think youll get me
with your drama, Gino.
Its Gio, auntie.
I just... happened to share my story.
You know, my son, Ace
we raised him to be a kind boy.
His heart is pure.
And I didnt realize that...
it would be his weakness.
How could it be his weakness?
When its one of the reasons
I fell in love with Ace
because he is so compassionate.
Exactly.
And you took advantage of it.
Take advantage?
Im not that kind of person, auntie.
Dont call me auntie.
And well,
look at you.
And you think youre not judgmental?
Hey!
And if you think...
you won the lottery,
youre wrong!
I understand that you just want
to protect Ace,
but what I want you to know
is that I truly love your son.
Well...
Ill be the judge of that.
- Judge
- What?
I just want to ask
where your toilet is.
I cant find my way there.
Go left,
then turn right,
then right again.
Head straight.
Open the door,
turn left,
and then turn right.
Its the door in front.
Okay. Thank you.
That seems like the way home.
Im so happy
that my parents seem to like you.
Im sure, just like me,
theyve fallen for your charms.
Youre so amazing!
Even my sister is so fond of you!
Its hard to impress
my mom and dad,
but I feel that you made
a good first impression.
Ace, I promise
I will do anything
to deserve you.
Such pressure comes with being
a golden boys boyfriend, right?
Youre nuts!
Im the lucky one to be with you.
How?
Youre
heaven-sent.
Oh wow!
Rainbow love awards?
No, seriously,
You...
You changed my life for the better.
You know that feeling
when you first come out,
you see the world through a different lens,
thats
thats how I felt
when I first met you.
You made me realize that...
its okay to be me, and
I love being loved by you.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Kiss me then.
Thats it for our rest house tour!
This is my mommy!
Say hi!
Hi!
Oh...
I see. What a nice view.
The nerve of that gold digger
to showcase his butt around.
Who's the gold digger? What butt?
Is there anyone else?
No other than your brothers boyfriend.
Mom, how come youre saying
hes a gold digger?
You were just about to cry back there.
Oh my god, mom!
I think hes cool.
I dunno.
Theres something about him
that feels off.
I think hes hiding something.
You know what, mom?
I agree.
What have I done to deserve this?
Why am I being tortured?
Mom, thats enough.
Youre overreacting.
Ace is a good judge of character.
We should just be happy for him.
Right?
- Judge of character...
- What are you trying to say?
That Im a bad judge of character?
Im a Regional Trial Court judge
for Christs sake.
Did you forget
that I matched you with Azi?
- Exactly.
- Say what?
Nothing. What Im saying is,
hes an adult.
Let him decide for himself.
And let him ruin his life?
If not because of me,
your life wouldve been
in shambles.
Thats unfair, mom.
Azi,
my favorite son-in-law
Yes, mom?
I want you to investigate Jiro.
But who...
Whos Jiro, mom?
Aces boyfriend.
Isn't it Gio--
I want to know his
deepest, darkest secrets.
I got you, mom.
Ill have my men handle this.
Good.
Ill leave you to it.
Azi, my chicken curry,
you wont be digging up on Gio, right?
Why not, my red bean bun?
I already said yes to your mom.
Thats insane, and you know that!
Ill be the one to take the heat
from your mom if I dont follow her.
My meatloaf darling, Azi.
Please, I beg of you, dont do it.
It will just cause trouble.
Our family is already at peace.
Please, dont do it.
So what do I get?
What?
As if you would do that.
Tell me, what do I get in return?
I dont know.
Tell me.
Okay, listen.
Ill say this once. And only once.
Do you hear me?
Let Mr. Yangs son back
in your school.
Oh my god. No.
No, no, no!
That kid is a bully,
a violent one.
Theres a reason why he got kicked out.
My chrysanthemum...
You do know that Mr. Yang...
hes my biggest donor in
this upcoming elections, right?
What youre asking of me is not easy.
Lets just give and take. Okay?
Okay. Fine.
My beloved disinfectant spray.
Ill call our principal.
Ill see what I can do.
See, that ones easy!
My darling dish.
My...
lovely smoked fish.
Wow.
Mom, Dad...
Im scared.
What the hell are you talking about?
- What is it?
- I think Im traumatized!
What?
Keep it together, Azi!
Snap out of it!
What's gotten into you?
Can you just spill it already?
Dad...
Mom wanted me to do a
background check on Gio.
You didnt have to.
He seems like a kind man.
I just wanted to be sure
that hes not two-faced!
Actually...
- You are right, mom.
- See?
What else is new?
What am I right about?
Yeah? What is she right about?
Hold on...
Perhaps, before I continue...
you should sit first.
Im already seated, dumbass.
Oh, then brace yourself?
Do I need to lie down?
Not really, but the news Im sharing
will make you weak in the knees.
I dont care! Just tell me!
- Im getting impatient.
- Azi!
Azi!
What?
Once again, youre right, mom.
How many times do you have to say that!
Gio is not what he claims to be!
Because he is...
a sex worker!
Oh, god!
Mom!
Dad, mom needs CPR!
- Mouth to mouth?!
- There is no need!
I knew it!
My mothers instinct has never failed me!
Wait!
Are we really sure this is Gio?
This could be an AI version of him!
Dad! That doesnt look fake!
Put this away!
Put this away!
I dont want to see it!
But why are you still watching?!
Throw this away!
I cant take this.
- Put this away!
- But you're staring at it!
I dont want to see that.
My god!
This cant be.
Im fine.
Im fine.
That boy will only
destroy the life of our son.
We need to break them apart.
You know, mom.
I agree.
Before it destroys our familys reputation.
Dont you think we should verify it first
if hes really the one on the video?
Dad, this is verified!
It doesnt matter!
Where is Tino?
Move.
In the garden, mom.
Wait? Whos Tino?
Who is he?
Dad!
Tino!
Its Gio, Judge.
You've got some nerve!
- Is there something wrong?
- How dare you do this to my family?
I dont follow
Keep denying but you wont fool me!
Look.
I understand your reaction
but I am not ashamed of my job
thats providing food for my family.
I don't care about your work.
I hope you realize the harm it will do
to Ace and my family.
I am sorry.
I understand
that you need to do
everything to survive...
and I dont blame you
for using my son.
Judge me all you want
on what I do for a living.
But what I feel for your son
is real.
If what you say is true, then leave him.
Ace has a bright future ahead of him
and you will only bring him down.
What will people say
when they find out that a son of a
politician is dating someone like you?
What do you really want?
Money?
Lets settle it then.
Youre right.
I do need money.
But not once have I ever
used people for my gain.
I have worked my ass off
for everything that I have.
Please dont take this the wrong way
I admit, I can feel that you love my son.
But your reputation will only ruin him.
And I know I am risking my relationship
with my son by intervening in his affairs
but you have to understand
why Im asking this of you.
We are a family of politicians.
I understand.
Mom, have you seen Gio?
No. Didnt he tell you?
Tell me what?
Do you know what your boyfriend is up to?
Do you even have a clue?
Your boyfriend is a sex worker.
Such a shame.
Whats so shameful about that?
Good thing we found out early,
God knows what could've happened!
And please, can you get yourself tested?
We get tested regularly
and we are both on PReP.
Besides, ever since we got together,
he hasn't collaborated
with other online creators.
And Im pretty sure you are clueless
with what I'm saying.
Wait...
Are you saying you are aware
that you are dating a sex worker?
Do you know the man wearing a mask
in one of his videos?
Thats me.
- No!
- From the start,
I know what he does
for a living and who he is.
Youre lying. This cant be true!
Youre unbelievable!
- Ace!
- No! Let me go!
- Listen to me!
- Whats the problem here?
Dad, Ace has kept from us that
his boyfriend is a sex worker!
Good thing I was able to investigate!
What? Why did you do that
even if I asked you not to?
We need to know who he truly is!
He must have manipulated you.
You are not the type
who will say yes to this!
He didnt force me to do anything.
It was my choice. I did it
because I wanted to.
See? See!
I knew it! That boy is up to no good.
Look what hes doing to my perfect son!
You cant do this to me!
Mom! I have never been perfect, okay?
I obeyed every expectation from you
and dad so that I would feel accepted.
You wanted me to graduate with honors?
Fine!
I persevered even if I was struggling
because I never liked the course
that you wanted me to take.
I dont sleep. I have no friends.
I ignored all the things Ive lost
because I wanted you and dad to be happy!
I did everything that you asked of me
so that you can truly accept me!
But we do accept you!
I love you, son.
But why do I feel the opposite?
Do you remember what
you said when I came out?
Son, its okay to be gay,
but dont dress up as one.
What kind of acceptance is that?
You know the reason why we told you that
Yes for my well-being!
Mom, I love you very much
but the love I get from Gio
is the kind of love that
has no expectations.
And now, you want me
to throw it all away?
- Ace! Come back!
- Mom, just let him go!

to raise the offer!
Youre crazy!

That is if I wont run for the position,
but... thats quite impossible.
I'm a sure candidate, always.
Dad...
you know how I feel about politics.
Its just not for me.
Youre right!
Its not for everyone!
It really depends
if one deserves to be the mayor,
- if one has the heart to
- You know what,
Ace never disappointed us
with his decisions.
So, Im sure,
youre also an achiever
and you have a respectable job.
Because why would my son choose a nobody
to be his boyfriend, right?
The food is so delicious!
Lets eat first?
Gio, let's eat.
Don't be shy.
Go try this.
Come on, lets eat.
You wanna try this?
To be honest, I may not be as smart,
or as brilliant like Ace.
But I believe,
Im doing okay now.
Oh, thats good.
Ive already lost count
of my sons achievements.
Whats your work and background,
if you dont mind?
Hes a content creator.
Hey! Thats my dream job!
- Thats nice!
- Content crea Im sorry.
Great! Were actually
hiring influencers
for our upcoming projects.
Oh, perfect!
Not to offend you, Gio,
but is content creation
even a high-paying job?
Thats so hard to say...
Is that even a job though?
Mom
Hey, mom.
Well, actually,
its not an easy job.
I really had a hard time
when I was just starting.
But this job provided me the chance
to help with my moms cancer treatment.
Condolences.
- Hey!
- Shes still alive.
Im so sorry, Gio.
Its okay.
My moms already recovered.
But...
since my dad passed away...
Condolences.
- Thank you.
- Azi, stop it.
I became our familys breadwinner
We wont have food on our table
if I wont make enough.
Im the one sending my siblings to school.
Then our mom suddenly got sick.
So I had no choice,
but to work hard
and be resourceful.
Because of my job,
my mom is now cancer-free.
And I think that is
my greatest achievement in life.
Youre making me cry.
That was very moving.
Nothing special.
Thats making you cry?
Thats why I do my best for the voters.
I mean,
the less fortunate.
The less fortunate, yes.
Gio, I have so much respect for you.
Well, I know my son is right
for choosing you to be his boyfriend.
Lets eat.
Eat well.
You try this.
- Lets eat.
- Try the watermelon.
Why am I here again?
Bravo, bravo.
What for, maam?
What a beautiful sob story
about your mom
having cancer.
So moving. So touching.
But it was not a sob story.
If you think youll get me
with your drama, Gino.
Its Gio, auntie.
I just... happened to share my story.
You know, my son, Ace
we raised him to be a kind boy.
His heart is pure.
And I didnt realize that...
it would be his weakness.
How could it be his weakness?
When its one of the reasons
I fell in love with Ace
because he is so compassionate.
Exactly.
And you took advantage of it.
Take advantage?
Im not that kind of person, auntie.
Dont call me auntie.
And well,
look at you.
And you think youre not judgmental?
Hey!
And if you think...
you won the lottery,
youre wrong!
I understand that you just want
to protect Ace,
but what I want you to know
is that I truly love your son.
Well...
Ill be the judge of that.
- Judge
- What?
I just want to ask
where your toilet is.
I cant find my way there.
Go left,
then turn right,
then right again.
Head straight.
Open the door,
turn left,
and then turn right.
Its the door in front.
Okay. Thank you.
That seems like the way home.
Im so happy
that my parents seem to like you.
Im sure, just like me,
theyve fallen for your charms.
Youre so amazing!
Even my sister is so fond of you!
Its hard to impress
my mom and dad,
but I feel that you made
a good first impression.
Ace, I promise
I will do anything
to deserve you.
Such pressure comes with being
a golden boys boyfriend, right?
Youre nuts!
Im the lucky one to be with you.
How?
Youre
heaven-sent.
Oh wow!
Rainbow love awards?
No, seriously,
You...
You changed my life for the better.
You know that feeling
when you first come out,
you see the world through a different lens,
thats
thats how I felt
when I first met you.
You made me realize that...
its okay to be me, and
I love being loved by you.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Kiss me then.
Thats it for our rest house tour!
This is my mommy!
Say hi!
Hi!
Oh...
I see. What a nice view.
The nerve of that gold digger
to showcase his butt around.
Who's the gold digger? What butt?
Is there anyone else?
No other than your brothers boyfriend.
Mom, how come youre saying
hes a gold digger?
You were just about to cry back there.
Oh my god, mom!
I think hes cool.
I dunno.
Theres something about him
that feels off.
I think hes hiding something.
You know what, mom?
I agree.
What have I done to deserve this?
Why am I being tortured?
Mom, thats enough.
Youre overreacting.
Ace is a good judge of character.
We should just be happy for him.
Right?
- Judge of character...
- What are you trying to say?
That Im a bad judge of character?
Im a Regional Trial Court judge
for Christs sake.
Did you forget
that I matched you with Azi?
- Exactly.
- Say what?
Nothing. What Im saying is,
hes an adult.
Let him decide for himself.
And let him ruin his life?
If not because of me,
your life wouldve been
in shambles.
Thats unfair, mom.
Azi,
my favorite son-in-law
Yes, mom?
I want you to investigate Jiro.
But who...
Whos Jiro, mom?
Aces boyfriend.
Isn't it Gio--
I want to know his
deepest, darkest secrets.
I got you, mom.
Ill have my men handle this.
Good.
Ill leave you to it.
Azi, my chicken curry,
you wont be digging up on Gio, right?
Why not, my red bean bun?
I already said yes to your mom.
Thats insane, and you know that!
Ill be the one to take the heat
from your mom if I dont follow her.
My meatloaf darling, Azi.
Please, I beg of you, dont do it.
It will just cause trouble.
Our family is already at peace.
Please, dont do it.
So what do I get?
What?
As if you would do that.
Tell me, what do I get in return?
I dont know.
Tell me.
Okay, listen.
Ill say this once. And only once.
Do you hear me?
Let Mr. Yangs son back
in your school.
Oh my god. No.
No, no, no!
That kid is a bully,
a violent one.
Theres a reason why he got kicked out.
My chrysanthemum...
You do know that Mr. Yang...
hes my biggest donor in
this upcoming elections, right?
What youre asking of me is not easy.
Lets just give and take. Okay?
Okay. Fine.
My beloved disinfectant spray.
Ill call our principal.
Ill see what I can do.
See, that ones easy!
My darling dish.
My...
lovely smoked fish.
Wow.
Mom, Dad...
Im scared.
What the hell are you talking about?
- What is it?
- I think Im traumatized!
What?
Keep it together, Azi!
Snap out of it!
What's gotten into you?
Can you just spill it already?
Dad...
Mom wanted me to do a
background check on Gio.
You didnt have to.
He seems like a kind man.
I just wanted to be sure
that hes not two-faced!
Actually...
- You are right, mom.
- See?
What else is new?
What am I right about?
Yeah? What is she right about?
Hold on...
Perhaps, before I continue...
you should sit first.
Im already seated, dumbass.
Oh, then brace yourself?
Do I need to lie down?
Not really, but the news Im sharing
will make you weak in the knees.
I dont care! Just tell me!
- Im getting impatient.
- Azi!
Azi!
What?
Once again, youre right, mom.
How many times do you have to say that!
Gio is not what he claims to be!
Because he is...
a sex worker!
Oh, god!
Mom!
Dad, mom needs CPR!
- Mouth to mouth?!
- There is no need!
I knew it!
My mothers instinct has never failed me!
Wait!
Are we really sure this is Gio?
This could be an AI version of him!
Dad! That doesnt look fake!
Put this away!
Put this away!
I dont want to see it!
But why are you still watching?!
Throw this away!
I cant take this.
- Put this away!
- But you're staring at it!
I dont want to see that.
My god!
This cant be.
Im fine.
Im fine.
That boy will only
destroy the life of our son.
We need to break them apart.
You know, mom.
I agree.
Before it destroys our familys reputation.
Dont you think we should verify it first
if hes really the one on the video?
Dad, this is verified!
It doesnt matter!
Where is Tino?
Move.
In the garden, mom.
Wait? Whos Tino?
Who is he?
Dad!
Tino!
Its Gio, Judge.
You've got some nerve!
- Is there something wrong?
- How dare you do this to my family?
I dont follow
Keep denying but you wont fool me!
Look.
I understand your reaction
but I am not ashamed of my job
thats providing food for my family.
I don't care about your work.
I hope you realize the harm it will do
to Ace and my family.
I am sorry.
I understand
that you need to do
everything to survive...
and I dont blame you
for using my son.
Judge me all you want
on what I do for a living.
But what I feel for your son
is real.
If what you say is true, then leave him.
Ace has a bright future ahead of him
and you will only bring him down.
What will people say
when they find out that a son of a
politician is dating someone like you?
What do you really want?
Money?
Lets settle it then.
Youre right.
I do need money.
But not once have I ever
used people for my gain.
I have worked my ass off
for everything that I have.
Please dont take this the wrong way
I admit, I can feel that you love my son.
But your reputation will only ruin him.
And I know I am risking my relationship
with my son by intervening in his affairs
but you have to understand
why Im asking this of you.
We are a family of politicians.
I understand.
Mom, have you seen Gio?
No. Didnt he tell you?
Tell me what?
Do you know what your boyfriend is up to?
Do you even have a clue?
Your boyfriend is a sex worker.
Such a shame.
Whats so shameful about that?
Good thing we found out early,
God knows what could've happened!
And please, can you get yourself tested?
We get tested regularly
and we are both on PReP.
Besides, ever since we got together,
he hasn't collaborated
with other online creators.
And Im pretty sure you are clueless
with what I'm saying.
Wait...
Are you saying you are aware
that you are dating a sex worker?
Do you know the man wearing a mask
in one of his videos?
Thats me.
- No!
- From the start,
I know what he does
for a living and who he is.
Youre lying. This cant be true!
Youre unbelievable!
- Ace!
- No! Let me go!
- Listen to me!
- Whats the problem here?
Dad, Ace has kept from us that
his boyfriend is a sex worker!
Good thing I was able to investigate!
What? Why did you do that
even if I asked you not to?
We need to know who he truly is!
He must have manipulated you.
You are not the type
who will say yes to this!
He didnt force me to do anything.
It was my choice. I did it
because I wanted to.
See? See!
I knew it! That boy is up to no good.
Look what hes doing to my perfect son!
You cant do this to me!
Mom! I have never been perfect, okay?
I obeyed every expectation from you
and dad so that I would feel accepted.
You wanted me to graduate with honors?
Fine!
I persevered even if I was struggling
because I never liked the course
that you wanted me to take.
I dont sleep. I have no friends.
I ignored all the things Ive lost
because I wanted you and dad to be happy!
I did everything that you asked of me
so that you can truly accept me!
But we do accept you!
I love you, son.
But why do I feel the opposite?
Do you remember what
you said when I came out?
Son, its okay to be gay,
but dont dress up as one.
What kind of acceptance is that?
You know the reason why we told you that
Yes for my well-being!
Mom, I love you very much
but the love I get from Gio
is the kind of love that
has no expectations.
And now, you want me
to throw it all away?
- Ace! Come back!
- Mom, just let him go!
