CGiii Comment
An intimate poetic documentary about finding happiness in the worst of conditions.
Las Flores de la Noche is a small village on the shores of the biggest lake in Mexico. In the village live four young transgender women: Violeta, Alexa, Dolche and Uriel. The latter decides to leave her female identity behind after joining a religious group who uses conversion therapy. Despite everything, the strong friendship bonds unite the four in a very special and inspiring way.
“The Night Flowers” is a manifest of freedom and happiness, where the heroines celebrate their youth and identity with pride despite the harsh living conditions.
Un grupo de jóvenes trans debe confrontar los valores conservadores de su comunidad en Mezcala de la Asunción, Jalisco, para disfrutar con libertad su identidad de género; un divertido recordatorio del poder de la amistad en un proceso de transgresión y aceptación social.
