Young street vendor Soe Ko lives in a small village on the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar. He’s in love with Saing Ko, a quiet mason from another village, and dreams of a wedding with all the trimmings: beautiful clothes, jewellery and makeup. But Myanmar is governed by a military regime and marriage between two men is strictly forbidden.

In this particular little community, however, there is an exceptional, small circle that does welcome homosexuals. There are regular meetings at which young people can tell their sometimes-heartrending stories of exclusion. Among them are a human rights activist, a schoolteacher and a shaman. With some housewives and other neighbours, they all decide to make a marriage between the two young lovers a reality. The wedding cumulates in an exuberant celebration that shows that love refuses to be oppressed.
