Is it too much to ask follows the journey of two friends Smile and Glady - looking for a rental apartment in Chennai and the obstacles and social stigma they encounter in not just looking for a home but being single and the fact that they are transgender women. In addition to the search for a house we will meet the two women in their everyday dealings with an utmost prejudiced society where there are very few emotionally bright spots with which Smile and Glady can recharge their energy. Their identity renders them helpless before the caste-ridden, feudal and patriarchal landlords of the city who by denying them their apartments, deny their existence too. But Smile and Glady face every day as it comes with so much grace, humour and undying positivity. They turn their anger and frustrations into songs, dance, plays and their work of art continues to supply them the hope to live.
