Katchi

Katchi opens up with the young Saad, who falls outside the gender binary. Growing up in a middle class family, and striving for his true self, Saad encounters several gruesome events of bullying and being molested by other boys in school, and faces the issues of acceptance and intolerance from the family. Mariam (Saad’s mother) discreetly acknowledges her son’s desires of being different and tries to comfort her son with love. Later on in his life, the ‘older’ Saad refuses to suppress his true identity, and openly partakes in a theatre show, which reflects the lives of transgender women. Mariam does come to see the show but has she truly accepted Saad? Or does the fear of losing family pride come in the way…?
