The brand’s film shows a transwoman celebrating her first Women’s Day. The film portrays a mother making preparations to celebrate her daughter’s ‘First Women’s Day,’ much to the confusion of the neighbourhood ‘aunties,’ especially the next door neighbour, Renu Aunty - ‘Doesn’t she have a son called Vikram?’ At the party it is revealed that Vikram has undergone a sex-change operation and is now Vaishali. In a climactic moment when Vaishali bends to touch Renu aunty’s feet, the latter takes a step back saying that ‘daughters are not meant to are me touch elder’s feet,’ taking a moment before continuing to say, ‘They should be embraced.’ The film closes with the message that acceptance begins at home.
