DIRECTOR STATEMENT
This film is a love letter to all those small-town queers and the gay kids in religious communities, to the queer Latinos that don’t quite fit in, to the black sheep with a love and identity that can’t be hidden. Yisel’s affinity for floriography, period-piece dramas, and queer Latine narratives laid the foundation for this one-of-a-kind short film; and its nearly 70 helping hands are the reason it’s come to fruition. To all of you out there that worry your happy ending won’t come without a fight, this film is for you. You may have to carve yourself a new door when ignorant loved ones shut theirs on you, but just know that you’re never alone. There will always be family waiting to be found, on a new path you will pave yourself.
