After sudden eviction by their prejudiced landlord, Laila and Roshni must put their wits together to find a home and reclaim their place in society. Laila is torn between being true to herself and preserving links with the family she was born into. Meanwhile, Roshni treads a fine line between concealing her identity and living the life that she wants but it is not without its dangers. They have a friend in Sharukh but many of their other interactions don't turn out as expected. As the search for a home continues, it transcends physical spaces and biological bonds. New friendships blossom and help comes from unexpected quarters.

A Place of Our Own is an essential telling of the trans experience that should be shared with all walks of life. It’s an excellent film.

Being a trans woman in India seems at times impossible, but the film is a reminder of the queer community’s unwillingness to back down.
