Synopsis

Hijra is a contemporary drama that follows a woman’s inner and physical journey across borders of geography, memory, and identity. Set against the backdrop of migration and transformation, the film explores themes of belonging, faith, resilience, and personal liberation. Through a poetic and visually driven cinematic language, Hijra reflects on the meaning of home and the cost of crossing invisible and visible boundaries.
