Four half-human-half-animal creatures exist obeying their own rules, with their defeats and unclear victories, when there is nothing to either lose or win. Their sole purpose here is so each one of them could play a part.
Mirliflor – a story of people “who lose themselves”; it performs moderate inherent beauty driving the four characters to the place where everything is possible. Funny and strangely familiar they plunge into passion of matter and oblivion to finally discover their human fragility…
Mirliflor – is a fragrance of thousands flowers, an ancient Latin word, second meaning “dandy”.
