The Flower Girl

Flower girl circus poster 2Go to school, work, retire, die. Rinse and repeat.

Year in and year out we do the same things, work in the same gray offices, live in the same gray apartments, lead the same gray lives. But inside of all of us lives a little flower girl. A little flower girl named Calla. And she has the power to transform us and show us the wonder of everything we lost along the way, ever since the day we decided that our childhood dreams deserved a proper burial.

The Flower Girl. The story of you. Of us. Of all of us. The story that helps us reconnect to that which we have lost. The story that makes us humans again. Before it's too late.

Written and directed by H. Sven Fernandez.
