Like any devoted mother, Remedios ‟Medy‟ Santos is willing to make sacrifices for her family. Medy is a breadwinner who works as a make-up artist. One day, she was chosen to be a personal make-up artist and assistant for her client's US concert tour. During her stay in America, she ran into a former classmate named Helen, who urged her to stay and be an illegal migrant worker. With a promise of a job and a better salary, Medy agrees in desperation to earn money so she can pay off her sickly daughter's medical bills. Instead of what was agreed upon, Medy ends up doing odd jobs until she lands a job as a housekeeper. Seven years later, Medy tries to escape from the family she works for and goes back to her homeland. Filled with expectations of a warm welcome and joyful tears, Medy gets disappointed and tries to earn back her family's love. (Source: XuongPhim)
