A Dalit trans woman navigates love and identity after falling for an upper-caste man, forcing her to confront the silence around her caste. Tara is the story of a 26-year-old Dalit trans woman who meets a singer named Aman at a queer party, sparking an immediate connection. As their night unfolds through the streets of South Bombay, Tara brings him home — only to quietly hide a portrait of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar before letting him in. While she's open about her trans identity, Tara hesitates to reveal her caste, especially after noticing a janeu on Aman's body. Their growing closeness forces Tara to confront the internal tensions between her caste and gender identity. Tara explores the complexities of intersectionality, love, and the quiet resilience of those navigating layered marginalizations in a modern, urban India.
