We made a film that shows the journey of a trans woman in a utopian world where acceptance is quite normal.

Though the film is not just about her journey, it's the journey of a family. In Indian families, bridal jewellery is more of a lifetime affair. Similarly, in our story, the family starts preparing for their daughter's future the day she comes out. Here, Bhima Jewellery becomes a symbol of their love and acceptance.

And that is the main aim of the film – to normalise acceptance.

Nearly six in 10 transgender persons drop out of school due to severe harassment.

99% have faced constant social rejection, even by their family.

We were inspired by what-ifs. What if those 99% trans persons did not have to suffer social and familial rejection.

How would unconditional love change their life?

We explored these answers in the trans utopia of ‘Pure as Love’

Then we married these answers with a little insight about Indian families. Where bridal jewellery isn't collected in a day or even a month – it’s more of a lifetime affair. Similarly, in our story, the family starts preparing for their daughter's future the day she comes out.

We were keen on trying a more progressive take than the trauma-ridden trans experience usually depicted in popular culture.

And of course, we cast a trans person to represent this journey.
