From the same streets where Mother Theresa of Kolkata "reached the door of every single man", more than 65.000 people are brought by deception from the countryside and forced to work in the brothels of Kolkata's red-light district. Sex workers are forced to live in extremely poor hygienic and human conditions, exploited and marginalized by a male-centric society, which considers them like the scum of the earth.
In India prostitution is a job that passes on from mother to daughter. We will get to know the faces and the stories of those girls who will never know any other life but the one in the brothels. Our enquiry will also shed a light on the dark face of India's homosexuals and transsexuals, telling the stories of who is forced to live a hidden life, constantly subject to the social stigma of "diversity", trapped within the Indian society's taboo that considers homosexuality a crime "against nature".
