Margarita with a Straw(2014)

Laila, a young Indian woman with cerebral palsy, leaves Delhi to study in New York, falls in love with a blind activist, and comes into her own as a bisexual disabled woman. One of the most fully realized portraits of disability, desire, and sexuality in world cinema, and a landmark for queer disabled representation. Anchored by Kalki Koechlin's lead performance and a script attentive to access and independence.
