Hidden Flora

Synopsis

Roxii, a queer hopeless romantic, just wants to be loved and treated the way boys treat girls. A string of boys and men inform Roxii’s view of sex and identity in late aughts Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Writer-director Ryan Rox says Hidden Flora is a film that "addresses the unspoken awkwardness and dangers of exploring one’s queer sexuality without queer sex education, as well as gender identity, sexual abuse, and addiction, through a personal, therapeutic lens."

And that's exactly what it does, and successfully so. Her deeply personal journey will no doubt resonate with audiences - Hidden Flora might just be the film you never knew you missed growing up.
