The Age of Flowering Plants

About This Movie

The Age of Flowering Plants blends fantasy with a unique take on gender and sexuality, set against the backdrop of a mysterious flower shop. Valeria, the protagonist, finds herself enveloped in a world where the flora exudes an intoxicating sensuality. It's not just the flowers that are intriguing; her friends, with their elongated ears and ethereal wings, add an otherworldly charm to the narrative. Ugarte de Pablo masterfully weaves elements of Mexican folklore into a futuristic atmosphere, creating a rich tapestry of colors and sounds. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to soak in the lush visuals and surreal experiences. Practical effects here elevate the almost dreamlike quality, giving the film its distinctive edge.
