Queer resistance, bold performances, and political rebellion collide in this acclaimed Colombian short film.

Flores del Otro Patio (Flowers from the Other Yard), the award-winning short film from director Jorge Cadena, is now streaming on Dekkoo.

Set in northern Colombia, the film follows a group of queer activists who use extravagant costumes, performance, and unapologetic self-expression to challenge environmental exploitation and social injustice.

A Festival Favorite with a Powerful Message

Blending queer identity, activism, and striking visual storytelling, Flores del Otro Patio has earned international recognition, including a European Film Awards nomination and a Special Jury Award at SXSW.

Rather than telling a conventional LGBTQ+ story, Cadena explores how queer visibility itself can become a powerful form of resistance.

At just 15 minutes, the film delivers a memorable combination of political commentary, artistic expression, and queer defiance.
