Brothels are rarely seen as safe or dignifying. In the red-light district of Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, a country torn by decades of war, there’s a tiny brothel that functions as a
shelter, shielding sex workers in Santafé, a zone that concentrates all the miseries of a bloodstained region. "Todas Las Flores" constructs an intimate portrait of Tabaco y Ron,
this neighborhood and the fierce will of its inhabitants to blossom.
​
Viewing Advisory: This documentary film contains brief instances of sexual nudity and acts. These scenes are included in a cultural and artistic context, intended to contribute to the authentic portrayal of the SantaFe neighborhood and its daily life. The film is recommended for mature audiences (18 and over). Viewer discretion is advised.
