Film Description: "A narrative about a woman from a South Asian background who has adopted butch signifiers from white lesbian culture as an antidote to her invisibility. She is deep down, however, femme at heart and doesn't really know how to do the things butches are supposed to be able to do. Her search for courage takes her into the mountains where she encounters her idol, a feisty goddess who has no time for timidity, roles, or rules." -- V tape (source) |
