Compassionate and compelling. Madhu - third gender, neither man nor woman - lives with other hijras in a seedy Mumbai red light district under pressure from real estate development, where misery is ordinary and hope is dangerous. Once a high-earning sex worker, now a beggar, Madhu is a nuanced, absolutely fascinating character. Humour leavens the bleak reality of poverty, prostitution and human trafficking.
