All The Flowers

Logline:

“All The Flowers” builds an intimate portrait of Tabaco y Ron, a small-scale brothel that protects immigrants in a seedy area where sex is the outstanding commodity. Within its boundaries, the brothel offers an oasis for people desperately fleeing war who arrive completely alone, unprotected and traumatized by armed conflict.

Synopsis:

Brothels are rarely considered safe or dignified. In the center of Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, a country torn by decades of violent armed conflict, there is a tiny brothel that functions as a refuge for sex workers in Santafé, an area that concentrates all the miseries of a bloodied region. The story of Santafé has never been told, except for tabloid accounts in the mainstream media that describe it as a treacherous and unsafe ghetto, without laws or civility, a neighborhood of thugs, drug dealers, prostitutes and war criminals ready to swindle any unsuspecting passerby.

“All The Flowers” builds an intimate portrait of Tabaco y Ron, a small-scale brothel that protects immigrants in a seedy area where sex is the outstanding commodity. Within its boundaries, the brothel offers an oasis for people desperately fleeing war who arrive completely alone, unprotected and traumatized by armed conflict.

“All The Flowers” presents a complex portrait of this brothel, this neighborhood and its inhabitants’ fierce will to flourish.
