*FILM #682 — THE MYSTERIOUS GAZE OF THE FLAMINGO*
Thursday, June 18th · 6:45 PM · doors open at 5 PM
In the early 80’s, in the Chilean desert, eleven-year-old Lidia grows up in a loving queer family pushed on the edge of an unwelcoming dusty mining town. They are blamed for a mysterious illness that’s starting to spread — said to be passed through a single gaze, when one man falls in love with another. In this modern western, Lidia leads a quest for vengeance, facing violence, fear and hatred, where family is her only refuge and love might be the real danger.
