The search for a missing woman unspools in two unexpectedly interconnected parts in Laura Citarella's playful new feature. The missing woman is Laura (Laura Paredes), a biologist cataloging plant species in and around the Argentinean city of Trenque Lauquen. The men searching for her: Rafael, her boyfriend, and Ezequiel, a coworker who has come to mean more to her in recent days. But in order to uncover the truth of Laura's disappearance, a profusion of mysteries must be explored. There's the question of love letters hidden in books in the local library, the discovery of a new species of flower, and then there's the mysterious being, rumored to be haunting the lake at the center of town.

From El Pampero Cine, the collective behind LA FLOR, comes a labyrinthine tale of obsessive pursuit and the quest for personal freedom.

2 hours too long

A great movie and story, I loved every single bit of it, but very often scenes run for longer than they should. I love slow cinema, I love cinema where nothing happens, cinema most people would classify as boring. This one was not a single bit slow or even potentially boring for anybody but felt hard to justify some extra minutes in many scenes. I found it exasperating towards the last third of the movie, and even the final scene which is something I would really love under normal circumstances, felt extremely long and borderline unbearable since I was exhausted after four hours of it. Its love and hate but it would benefit for having at least one hour less running time.
