PLOT
Lily, a compassionate madam, manages a group of call girls who also do their best to get out of the "oldest profession." These women are Amy, Bianca, Dulce and Ester.
Amy, a law student, becomes entangled with Dave after providing services to his ailing father, Celestino. In a bizarre yet humorous twist, Celestino regains strength through intimacy with Amy, sparking a deeper bond between Amy and Dave.
When Celestino requests for another paid sexual encouter, Dave reluctantly turns to Lily, who once again assigns Amy — blending erotic comedy with heartfelt romance.
Bianca, a stewardess, continues to seek sexual pleasure despite her stable career, only to realize that true fulfillment lies in motherhood.
Dulce is a young woman exploited by her stepfather and later trapped in drugs and prostitution by Randy. Lily eventually rescue Dulce and pays off the latter's debts. After getting treatment at the rehab, Dulce becomes one of the call girls under Lily's care.
Ester, another woman under Lily’s care, falls in love with regular customer Jess. Though she initially distances herself, Jess proves his love is genuine. With Lily’s guidance, their romance flourishes, culminating in marriage.
Quirina, Lily's maid, provides the comic relief. She engages in pager chats with a man named Gardo, only to discover she was messaging herself. Her comic misadventures are balanced by the teasing affection of Romeo, Lily's driver.
Later it was revealed that Lily got involved in the business after parting ways with her fiance Gary. Due to class differences, Lily was forced to leave him.
The movie ends with the wedding of Ester and Jess. After catching the bouquet tossed by Ester, Lily found herself exchanging a meaningful glance with Gary who happened to be in the vicinity.
