In Kolkata’s red-light district, sex workers and their children have founded their own film production company. Instead of bowing to their predetermined fate, they have taken up the camera themselves. Resolutely opposing poverty, stigma, and patriarchal structures, they write and produce their own films. They play themselves, and while their everyday lives are marked by precariousness, life and fiction become increasingly blurred. With each scene, the women fight for visibility and the right to tell their own stories, always hoping for a better future for their daughters.
