Un hombre llamado Flor de Otoño

Un hombre llamado Flor de Otoño Joseba Prieto

Set in Barcelona in the 1920’s, the character of the transvestite Flor de Otoño (Autumn Flower) is one of the first appearances of a homosexual in Spanish cinematography. His character also exhibits his anarchist ideology, in deep consonance with the revolutionary movements of the moment, as a call to rebel against the dictatorship. 


The historical setting, in addition to the world of cabaret and cuplé, allows Sacristán to display a fascinating assimilation of the performative and cultural characteristics of this subculture, as well as illuminating the dichotomy of people who lead a double life, like Lluís, the main character. Without a doubt, a landmark film by director Pedro Olea. 

Synopsis: Lluís de Serracant is a young lawyer from a Catalan bourgeois family, which does not prevent him from leading a surprising double life: during the day he deals with the matters of his work as a jurist; at night he transforms into Autumn Flower, a well-known transvestite who performs in a small Barcelona cabaret.
