Plot

La Flor is broken into six separate episodes, connected only by an on-screen appearance by Llinás explaining the film's structure. The first four episodes have the beginning of a story but finish in medias res (Classical Latin: "in the middle of things"). The fifth episode is the only one to proceed from start to end, and the last episode is only conclusion of a story.
