Flor de Mil Colores is an intimate portrait of Emiliana, a single
mother who is trying to survive in a remote Bolivian mining camp at
4897 meters above sea level. Emiliana lives there with her children in
the middle of the paradise like mountains of Mina Argentina. But
appearances are deceptive: the life in the camp is fierce. Those who
find tin eat, does who don’t, don’t eat. And by excessive alcohol
consumption Emiliana is constantly wary of the dangers surrounding her
family.

There are voices echoing over the neighborhood. They whisper on
women's ears which clothes they should wear, what kind of wives they
should be and blaming them for the rapes they are victim of. That
happens in Madiyaon, a suburb of Lucknow, the capital of India's most
conservative region. Usha Vishwakarma decides to raise her voice.
Dozens of teenagers who were victim of sexual abuse and harassment
answer to the call. Narguez is a young specialist in martial arts and
she rejects to use the hijab. Afreen joins the Brigade to forget all
childhood's traumas. Led by Usha the group struggles for women's
rights. For a new conscience, against the old traditions and common
sense

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
