Synopsis
Arun is a film director in search of a new idea. When he sees a statue to the god Ardanari, who is half-man, half-woman, he is inspired. He meets Sharda, a young eunuch who lives in a Southern Indian eunuch community in which the men dress and behave as women. Sharda, once a handsome young man, made the decision to leave his family and participate in a sacred ritual to lose his maleness... The relationship between Arun and Sharda grows intense, until Sharda disappears.
