Spotlighting the lives of individuals with disabilities, the film seeks to sensitively unpack misconceptions, prejudices and myths around their sexuality. Through personal narratives, it offers an intimate look into how they negotiate biological, medical, and socio-cultural beliefs to explore their identities and ultimately reclaim their sexual rights.
