Cécile Patingre

A sequence shot in a community of hijras in Bombay. Eunuchs, hermaphrodite goddesses, transsexuals, homosexuals, all live together.

They are police officers, they are homosexuals. How to assume one's sexual orientation within an institution little known for its tolerance? Through a series of portraits of men and women, the film collects answers and follows in the footsteps of FLAG !, the association that a few have founded to fight internal discrimination. More visible than elsewhere, the difficulties these police officers face speak of a society that is changing or that must change.
