The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo follows 12-year-old Lidia as she navigates fear and prejudice in a remote mining town in northern Chile when a mysterious illness threatens her queer family. With the help of her community, Lidia must uncover the truth behind the deadly disease that's spreading rapidly through the town, fueled by rumors of an ancient curse. Characterized by its vivid magical realism and powerful performances from Tamara Cortés as Lidia, this film poetically explores themes of queer resistance, found family, and empathy over fear.
