Raquela is a transsexual – or ‘ladyboy’ – from the Philippines who dreams of
escaping the streets of Cebu City for a fairy tale life in Paris. In order
to make her dreams come true, she turns from prostitution toward the more
lucrative business of Internet porn. Her success as a porn star brings new
friends, including Valerie, a ladyboy in Iceland, and Michael, the owner of
the website Raquela works for. Valerie helps Raquela get as far as Iceland.
From there, Michael offers her a rendezvous in Paris. Will Paris be
everything she dreamed of? And will Michael turn out to be her Prince
Charming?
