Summary
"The film depicts the story of Filipino overseas workers who leave their home country to find work in another country. Many of them work as domestic helpers and are known to be called 'modern day slaves'. They earn a few dollars to support themselves and send the rest of their earnings back home by way of remittances. They seek higher wages and hope to multiply their earnings by a factor of 300% to 500% compared to what they will earn back home"--Container
