Short film

Flores

2017 · 26 min

A slow, dreamlike drift through abandoned island landscapes, sad and quietly political, more mood than story.

Directed by: Jorge Jácome
Genres: Fantasy, Science fiction
Starring: André Andrade, Gabriel Desplanque, Jorge Jácome

Overview: In a natural crisis scenario, the entire population of Azores is forced to evict due to an uncontrolled plague of hydrangeas, a common flower in these islands. Two young soldiers, bound to the beauty of the landscape, guide us to the stories of sadness of those forced to leave and the inherent desire to resist by inhabiting the islands. The filmic wandering becomes a nostalgic and political reflection on territorial belonging and identity, and the roles we assume in the places we came from.
