An unflinching look at the lesser known and often misunderstood terrain of Indian LBT (Lesbian, Bisexual Transmen) community. This insightful documentary weaves together heartrending stories of LBT people victimised and subjugated by the law, the family and society, as well as hopeful stories of youngsters who have come out of the closet bravely. By placing it in context of the historic struggle of the LGBT community in India, and juxtaposing personal stories with critical analysis of issues by activists and advocates; the film offers a compelling inside view of Indian LBT lives.
