FLOWERS is an afro-futuristic fairytale of love, following a ceremony of a mother giving away her son, adopting references to classic Disney stories from the 1930s-50s, modernising tropes for a coming of age tale. tIn doing so the film reclaims the magic of that time we are all so familiar with:IMAGINING WHAT A BLACK FAIRY-TALE WOULD LOOK AND FEEL LIKE - by inverting and adapting age-old themes of fairy-tale lore. Through poetic abstract storytelling, elevated throughout by lush cinematic tones and stylised production and costume design, the whimsical story follows a Prince as he journeys from the confinement of his family home into the harsh reality of the outside world in search of his one true love, to the disappointment of his overlooked brothers.
