One of just a few Asian films featuring a transwoman actor, this lighthearted, action-packed
adventure stars Huong Giang (Miss International Queen 2018) as Duong, a struggling
stuntperson making barely enough to survive. One day, Duong discovers a life-threatening
conspiracy that causes them to go into hiding from criminals. On the urging of a friend,
Duong secretly signs up for gender-affirming procedures in Thailand. Soon after, her
estranged father suddenly falls ill, and the financial burden causes Duong to risk
anonymity by entering a cis beauty pageant in hopes of winning the grand prize to
help pay the hospital bills. Can she claim the crown while staying one step ahead
of the mob?
