Many among Karachi’s transgender community scrape a living through
dancing, singing and begging on the streets. Others earn money catering
to the sexual needs of men in the city’s seedier districts. Hidden from
the conservative mainstream, groups of outcast transsexuals have come
together to create underground communities or ‘families’. This film
follows three transgender individuals: Maggie is a prostitute with
dreams of becoming an airhostess; while Chahat was abandoned by her
family for her feminine ways; Sana is Karachi’s most sought-after
transgender dancer, who wants to give up the profession after a gruesome
 gang rape.

Transgender citizens face much discrimination in education,
employment and in terms of state protection. But there is some hope; the
 local tax office has advertised for transgenders to work as tax
collectors. Can Sana get one of those jobs? Will Chahat ever escape her
desperate poverty? And will Maggie fulfill her dream of flying away?
