White roses, fall!, by Albertina Carri
Violeta is a young film director who once made an amateur lesbian porn film with a group of friends. Following the success of that project, she is now hired to direct a mainstream porn film. However, her ideas about gender systems—both cinematic and sexual—prevent her from completing the shoot, and she flees. From the southern city of Buenos Aires, she sets off with her actresses toward the warmth of São Paulo, encountering new narrative forms along the way. The group of travelers evolves with the changing landscapes and their shifting moods until the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by dense jungle, overwhelms all worldly extravagance. They are welcomed by a voluptuous, uncharted territory. Cinema becomes a relic of another time, and life itself the only discovery.
