CONTENT WARNING:

After sudden eviction by their prejudiced landlord, transwomen Laila and Roshni must put their wits together to find a home and reclaim their place in society.

This film is presented in Hindi with English subtitles.

Laila and Roshni, two Trans women, are looking for a house after they are evicted from the place they rented. It soon becomes evident that their search for a home is also their ongoing search for a place in this society that wants to keep them away in a section that cannot be the centre. As the search for a home continues, we realise it transcends physical spaces and biological bonds. New friendships blossom and help comes from unexpected quarters.

Anna Emma Haudal

A romantic comedy about Liv, who is at the beginning of her 20s. She is very close to her parents and working in the family greengrocer business when, against all expectation, she falls in love with a spirited and somewhat older rainbow girl, Andrea. Andrea claims to be suffering from stress. But in reality, she is heartbroken and has sought refuge at her uncle's apple plantation. Liv's encounter with Andrea becomes the catalyst for a divorce, the loss of a friendship and an identity crisis that ultimately shatters their love. But in a rebellion against her parents, Liv realizes that love is mutable and that a family may assume many forms.
