The(ir) Blurb...

A young transvestite prostitute, Kusum, gears up for a regular night like any other. But just then enters Purab, an out of work, obsessive, English literature teacher who doesn't speak the local language, hoping to spend his last night with a girl! Needless to say, all hell breaks loose as the two struggle to negotiate the night in each other's presence. Will these two unlikely companions ever manage a connection?
