A documentary about the irrepressible Aida Banaji, Bombay's most famous transsexual.
Beautiful, bold and sassy, Aida dazzled and delighted the Bombay club scene during
the 1980's. She talks candidly about her childhood, teens, first sexual experiences,
and her ultimate decision to, and the physical process of, having a male to female
sex change. Now 38, Aida is about to enter into a new stage in her life. With bubbly
excitement, and with some trepidation, she tells of her imminent marriage to Steven,
a computer analyst from England. Combining interviews with friends, 'experts', and
Aida's fixating personality, this is an intimate portrait of a fascinating character
in the context of contemporary Indian social and family life
