More and more and more flowers
Back to listSynopsis
The cempasúchil flower is used during the Day of the Dead to help guide spirits back to their families, often placed on the altars built to receive our loved ones. As we follow the flower’s migration, we encounter people who have lost a loved one to Covid-19. Converging the flower’s omniscient perspective with our characters’ loving tributes, más y más y más flores offers both an understanding of the unique grief of losing a loved one to the pandemic and a cultural tradition that helps us honor the lives we’ve lost by guiding them back home.
