The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo
Directed by Diego Céspedes
Produced by Quijote Films, Les Valseurs
A haunting, myth-laden drama set during the AIDS crisis in 1980s Chile that explores superstition, prejudice, and the search for truth amid an epidemic that devastates marginalized communities.
As an unknown and deadly disease begins to spread, legend has it that it is transmitted between two men, through a simple glance, when they fall in love. While people are accusing her family, Lidia must find out whether this myth is real or not.
