ABOUT THE FILM: The film focuses on the subject of gender being something more than a binary. It explores how the current society is pushing gender minorities to margins due to misinformation and lack of understanding about gender fluidity. The film also discusses the Trans Bill passes on 26th November 2019 and awaiting the signature of the President of India.
