Young immigrant Tony invites his sister Lena to visit him a few days before his wedding to Carlos without telling her the occasion. On arrival, Lena mistakes Carlos for Tony’s roommate and is captivated by his masculinity. Carlos takes them out to a family restaurant, where the preparation for the reception is underway. Lena, who turns out to be homophobic, takes many hints wrong but finally guesses about her brother’s wedding. Tony hiding it this whole time upsets Carlos and makes him leave. Torn in parts, Tony now has to decide who is his true family and fight for his choice.
