Summary:This fascinating film explores the world of the Hijras. With no present day equivalent anywhere else, the Indian Hijras are held in deep fascination both in India itself, and the world-over. They are sexually ambiguous and socially unintegrated. They are easily recognisable by their masculine features, exaggerated feminine behaviour, and by their trademark clap.
