The Blossoming Of Maximo Oliveros is a Phillipine comedy movie. Maxi is the youngest child of a widower. Like nearly everyone in their Manila slum, survives outside the legal economic grid by selling stolen cell phones, placing bets, etc. Occasionally teased but mostly accepted as a girl in a boy’s body, super-femme Maxi drops out of school to be a surrogate ‘wife’, cooking, cleaning and fussing over everyone. He falls in love with handsome policeman Victor, who takes him under his wing platonically, although the vibe is near-romantic at times. When Maxi’s friend Boy kills a student during a bungled robbery, Maxi is caught between protecting his kin and Victor.
