THE MYSTERIOUS GAZE OF THE FLAMINGO

In the early 1980s Chilean desert, eleven-year-old Lidia grows up in a loving queer family on the margins of a hostile mining town. When a mysterious illness sparks fear and violence, the community turns against them, forcing Lidia to navigate a world where family is her only refuge and love may be the greatest risk.

LA MISTERIOSA MIRADA DEL FLAMENCO

A principios de la década de 1980, en el desierto chileno, Lidia —de once años— crece en el seno de una amorosa familia queer, al margen de un hostil pueblo minero. Cuando una misteriosa enfermedad desata el miedo y la violencia, la comunidad se vuelve en su contra, obligando a Lidia a navegar por un mundo en el que la familia es su único refugio y el amor podría ser el mayor riesgo.
