A group of transgender and gay Filipinos emigrate to Israel to care for elderly Jewish men, finding solace in their weekly drag performances as the Paper Dolls. The film explores the complexities of global immigration, as the Israeli government initially welcomed illegal workers to replace Palestinians, only to later forcibly deport them with devastating consequences. On a deeper level, the story revolves around individuals rejected by their families for being LGBTQ+, who find new families among the elderly and grapple with the sacrifices they make to support their loved ones back home.
