Prinsesa

When a moderate earthquake scares his children, Rey comforts them by telling the Singkil folk tale from the Philippines. But it soon becomes apparent that his little boy would much rather play the role of the princess than the warrior prince. Rey’s buddies immediately confront him to “straighten out” his boy and make him act “like a man.” But Rey wonders does his boy really want to be a girl? And what does that really mean?
