La Flor I
La Flor I
A decade in the making and filmed around the world, La Flor is composed of six distinct episodes, each starring the same four actresses. Over a span of fourteen hours, it transforms from a monster movie to a musical to a spy thriller to a metafiction to a remake of a French classic and, finally, to an enigmatic period piece.
Episode I
Three female researchers are attacked by a cursed mummy.
Episode II
While an estranged musical couple reunite to record another hit ballad, a secret society schemes to create an elixir of youth using a supposedly extinct scorpion.
Episode III (Act 1 & 2)
Four legendary female spies kidnap a scientist from the hands of their deadly adversaries, crossing several continents on their mission.
La Flor I will be screened with two intermissions.
