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 III (Act 3)
Four legendary female spies must kidnap a scientist from the hands of their deadly adversaries.

Episode IV
While the director procrastinates with his production, four fed-up actresses provoke the suspicions of a paranormal investigator.

Episode V
A near silent, black-and-white depiction of a dalliance between two city women and two country boys, based loosely on Jean Renoir’s A Day in the Country (1936).

Episode VI
Bringing La Flor to a close, four women wander a barren landscape as intertitles narrate an Englishwoman’s escape from Native Americans in the nineteenth century.

La Flor II will be screened with two intermissions.
