The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros

12-year-old Maxi walks and sways his hips, high on life, laughing and joking with his playmates, a renowned diva in his Manila locale. Since the death of his mother, he has cooked, cleaned and cared for his all-male family of criminals and is their alibi when things go wrong. However it all becomes complicated when he meets and falls for an unbribeable, by-the-book rookie cop, Victor – which spells disaster for the family operations. (Peccadillo Pictures)
