The documentary focuses on one gay man, one lesbian and one transgender person. They all have similar stories in the sense of how they were terrified growing up on accepting their feelings, how they confronted their own fears and were ok with it. We hear the poor transgender person on who she still did her duties as the 'son' to provide for her family but she had to be true to herself. The lesbian girls talks about her first love but how it could not go further since her girlfriend was forced into marriage. And the gay guy just hope that one day he will find love. The trio are heading toward the celebration for the first anniversary of the historic verdict overturning section 377 of the Indian Penal Code.
The protagonists in the film endure the fight for equality and visibility in a country that is becoming increasingly torn between tradition and change. But as I said, things are slightly different now but even from that time's perspective, the documentary is really neither entertaining nor insightful. Except the trans person, the personas chosen did not really have anything meaningful or deep to say. Most of there struggles and stories were quite similar to what most queer people in Indian continent would have gone through in my opinion. (3/10)
