In the heart of the metropolitan yet conservative city of Lahore lives the Rana family, a lower middle
class joint family comprising of the old patriarch, the elder son and pregnant wife with three daughters, and the youngest son Haider and his wife Mumtaz.
As the Rana’s eagerly anticipate the birth of a baby boy to continue their family line, Haider secretly
takes up a job as a background dancer at an erotic theatre where he is drawn to an ambitious trans
starlet, Biba. Slowly yet suddenly, Haider and Biba are engulfed in a secret summer romance which
surreptitiously takes over his home, unravelling the dichotomy between desire and morality for the entire Rana family.
… Its richly textured, effortlessly compassionate portrait of LGBTQ identity and desire.
