The Nobles

1h 16mMovie

The Khawaja Saras of Pakistan have a distinct gender identity and a long cultural presence, having once served as advisors in the courts of Mughal kings. With queer life in the country suppressed by colonialism, the community has been driven to the social margins. Set in Rawalpindi, the film follows three exuberant Khawaja Saras, who defiantly forge their lives with dignity as they run a café that becomes a community mainstay and sanctuary.
