Overview

The story revolves around Artika, a small town girl who believes herself to be modern, liberal and most importantly, independent and not someone who shies away from speaking her mind. She struggles to find a place to stay in Mumbai, overcoming the clichéd remarks of being a “single working girl living alone”. However, an unprecedented encounter with a transgender sex worker who stands opposite her house, questions her beliefs. Will she now fall into the same societal prejudices that she has been fighting against?
