queer love hits different when it’s spoken in your mother tongue, made me cry a little
Kinos
DE
Filmed over a year in Ambedkar Nagar, a dense, largely working class area in South Delhi. It moves between the two very different worlds of its protagonists, Sachi and Parveen, and tries to keep up with the currents and swings of their respective loves. Sachi works at a local beauty parlor, Parveen runs the family’s small cigarette counter at a crowded intersection. They are surrounded by a cacophonous city; they are both in love with other women. The film accompanies them through their desire to find and live, according to Sachi, their ‘freedom lives’—lives that are outside society and family’s constant scrutiny and sanction. But this ‘freedom life’ also leaves them vulnerable to the precariousness of love, when it refuses such constraints.

i cannot explain to you how seen i feel. seeing old brown working class queers with tattoos of past lovers etch in their skin, trans men asking their lovers if they’ll still love them on hormones, rented apartments to get away from their second life. i feel so seen i cried in the theatre. the juxtaposition of the control men want over women and their bodies to the selfless, overwhelming love between the queers. this film is just so powerful in the little things they show. i cannot tell you how important this film is to me as a young, brown, trans man.
