In the city of Lahore, bashful Haider has finally ended a long period of unemployment by taking a job at a Bollywood-style burlesque show. His wife, Mumtaz, enjoys the challenges and freedom of working in a beauty salon, but when Haider is hired as a backup dancer for the alluring, transgender Biba, he encounters a new world of identity and expression that upends the norms of traditional Pakistani family life and his marriage. After winning awards at Cannes and other international film festivals, this has become the first-ever Pakistani film shortlisted for Best International Feature Film at the Academy Awards.
