Flores
Portuguese filmmaker Jorge Jácome often mixes science fiction with documentary elements. In Flores, the entire population of the Azores is forced to evacuate to the mainland when an uncontrollable infestation of hydrangeas floods the islands.
Two young soldiers guide the viewer through the stories and grief of those forced to leave. Flores is a nostalgic and political reflection on territorial belonging and identity in the aftermath of an ecological disaster.
