Living up to your family’s high hopes can be almost impossible to navigate, especially as an LGBT+ person. When the world expects families to fit a traditional ideal, what does that mean for the dreams of parents, would-be parents, and the kids caught in the middle?
Sam and Oliver are a gay couple who travel all the way from the United States to India to adopt Chintu The little boy is infected with HIV and lives in an orphanage. However, there are bumps on the road as India’s adoption rules do not favour same sex couples, which acts as a deterrent to complicate the situation. Sam seeks the help of his close friend Meera to cross the hurdle. This leads to a misunderstanding with Oliver who feels left out. Simultaneously, we are introduced to Dr. Sanjay and his wife Asha who consider adoption to make their family complete. Will Sam and Oliver be able to overcome the obstacles they face? And will Chintu be saved and get a loving home to experience the bliss of parental love? That’s the answer we look for in the film.
