XXWHY follows the thoughts and feelings of a young transgender man and his girlfriend
living openly in India. Exploring his feelings about not having been born in a male
body and the loss of experiences he yearns to have, the film is a very rare look at
the life and culture of an Indian FTM making his way on the Asian continent. XXWHY
was part of the specially curated KASHISH SHORTS 2010; eight Indian Queer Films from
KASHISH Mumbai International Queer Film Festival that showcase the diversity of Indian
queer experience and expression in contemporary times.
