A summer, a town, and a heart about to awaken.

When Mateo returns to the town for a funeral, he is drawn into memories of his adolescence: that summer that marked a before and after. It was then that friendship became a refuge, art became a driving force, and two unexpected boys made him reconsider everything he thought he knew about love, desire, and himself.

El verano en que ardieron las flores, by Bruno Darío, is an intimate, tender, and honest story about emotional and sexual awakening, the value of finding oneself, and the warmth of real connections. A queer romance that speaks of first times, open wounds, and the unexpected beauty in the most everyday places.
