A florist receives a surprise visit from her ex-wife, uneasy at the next round of coming out.
The film portrays the first meeting and, at the same time, a reunion: it’s the story of the moment when Ana sees Clara for the first time. Starring Abril Zamora (Vis a Vis) and Lorena López (Dangerous Moms)
“A brilliant setting for a simple and touching story perfectly contained within one scene. The shifting of perspectives deftly executed in the writing and directing gives voice to both characters’ complicated emotions. The performances, the pacing, the compositions, the colour palette, and the use of the Victoria Amazónica as metaphor, all work in harmony leading towards a beautifully poetic ending, and demonstrate a remarkable command of the craft of filmmaking”
Jury members and previous Iris Prize LGBT+ Film Festival winners Lara Zeidan and Sarah Smith
