Storyline: Gabriel (75) gets devasted after his wife's death and must go out in the quest of a mystical flower called gentiana, the last one that his wife wanted to plant.




I wrote Gentiana's script in 2017 to express my inner feelings towards death. I need to express many emotions that I had kept for a long time, after saying "goodbye" to loved friends and family.
Gentiana is a seek questions I have heard and felt trough my life. It is influenced by conversations with my grandmother when I was a child, and memories with a close friend.
The project has participated twice in the "Fiction Short-Film" category of the FDC (Fund for Film Development) in Colombia. Both times we were selected among the best 20 projects of more than 200.
