Days and works of an hijra family take place in a litte town of Tamil Nadu, South India. Silky, Mahima, Trisha, Durga, Kuyili, Priyanka, Vasundhara and Yamuna,  under the tough protection of their guru Lakshmi Ma, give us glimpses of their marginal yet sovereign existence. From a millennial tradition to the evereday struggle, Guru composes with them a several voices poem, where the world is a harsh playground, where the third gender is, before anything else, the strength of resistance of lives pooled together.
