The scorching IPC Section 377 is re-unleashed to police to criminalize “gay sex” in India. While the law and the Supreme Court dated themselves back a few hundred years, an adorable Indian mother has her knowledge of “gay sex” in mint condition, wheeling out a tidbit or two for her heartbroken queer daughter in an effort to cheer her up. The pair are shocked into action by the Supreme Court's latest rejection. This enlightening and wonderfully animated short is directed by award winning independent artist filmmaker Neelu Bhuman.
