Working Beks

Five lives intersect at a moment of crossroads, each facing decisions that could reshape their careers, relationships, health, finances, and future paths. Through their intertwining choices, the film delves into the complexities of identity, desire, and the lasting reach of what we decide.

Tommy, TJ Trinidad, a well-liked Marketing Director on the cusp of a Senior VP promotion, discovers the promotion went to someone else. Faced with a choice to quietly accept the outcome or challenge a system that overlooked him, he chooses to push back. His decision could win him the position he believes he deserves, but it risks shaking the trust and stability of his family and the life he’s built around them.

Gorgeous, John Lapus, the primary breadwinner, carries heavy financial and emotional pressure. His mother relies on his support for herself and others, while a returning estranged, abusive father adds to the strain. His mother welcomes the prodigal figure back, complicating loyalties at home. In the midst of these pressures, Gorgeous finds solace in an intense fixation on a matinee idol, Champ. As the day unfolds, he must choose between clinging to that idealized escape or confronting the toxic dynamics at home to take control of his future.

Champ, Edgar Allan Guzman, a beloved heartthrob, faces a career-threatening scandal when a video of him kissing another man goes public. The fallout threatens his credibility, endorsements, and chances at future roles. With a primetime interview looming, he wrestles with whether to come clean about his sexuality or protect his public image at all costs, weighing personal truth against the platform that has made him famous.

On his wedding day, Mandy, Joey Paras, confronts a deeper personal crisis as feelings for men resurface. His fiancée shows understanding, yet he stands at a crossroads where commitment and authenticity pull in opposing directions. The decision before him could redefine how he sees himself and where he fits in the world, risking the stability and love he’s built with his partner.

Jet, Prince Stefan, a promiscuous call center agent, endures a paralyzing anxiety attack after learning that a recent hookup has died by suicide following an HIV diagnosis. Guilt and fear loom large as he contemplates the implications of his past behavior. He resolves to get tested and confront the reality of his sexual health, weighing the courage to face the truth against the fear of what his findings could mean for his future.

Across these intimate choices, the characters’ paths weave together, revealing how tightly lives are connected and how pursuit of honesty, responsibility, and self-acceptance can lead to redemption—or to harsh truths. By day’s end, some find a new sense of clarity and hope, while others must reckon with consequences that irrevocably alter the course of their lives.
