Mileider Gil

Monica is 13 years old and has already created her own world, on the street, where she fights courageously to defend what little she has: her friends, her boyfriend, who sells drugs, and her dignity and pride that makes no concessions to anyone. On Christmas night, like every night, she sells roses to make a living. But life brings her a new appointment with loneliness, poverty, drugs and death.

One of the most important Colombian films of the last years revives. With 'The Rose Seller' we learned about the most painful side of addictions: lost youth. What happened to its protagonists? How, against all odds, did they make such a powerful tale? Erwin Goggel's 'Making birds act' is a return to that universe, a look at the most melancholic, surprising, and bleak past from 20 years ago, or a look at today, 20 years after its birth.
