Lovebirds
5.5
When Mario invites his Internet pen pal all the way from Spain to his home in the Philippines to meet his family, his mother and father assume “Alexis” is a girl. But when Alexis turns out to be a man, it completely changes the family dynamic. While Mario’s mother refuses to admit her son is gay, his father’s reaction is even more surprising.
