Note of intent
The main theme is easy money, perhaps one of the aspirations that cause more social problems in Colombian. The search of easy money has been common since the time of the drug until today. The problem is exposed in an illegal mining in the Amazon. A major theme in the story is the delicate condition of the Amazon Forest in terms of environmental. Deforestation and poisoning of rivers and lands caused by illegal gold mining is causing a terrible impact on the ecosystem. Therefore, the project is committed to show the terrible situation.
Synopsis
The flowers of gold tells the adventure of Mary (15), Pipe (14) and Tavo (16) in the search of their dreams and desires in a rural zone of Colombia. Easy money and quick enrichment is the dream that makes them escape from their homeland and adventure to find wealth in the large illegal gold mines of the Amazon. They will come across obstacles to overtake and tragedies to mourn. Their morals will be decimated and their world will become complex and violent. Tavo’s pursuit of vengeance and power, Mary’s dream of fortune, and the escape of reality that Pipe gradually achieves, are the main motivations that will make the story end in a tragic and at the same time fantastic ending. Mary, Pipe and Tavo will adventure themselves in the search of their ambitions, moving farther away from home each time.
Visual concept
The script seeks to tell the story realistically. The methodology for the creation is based on research of the problem exposed in areas where illegal mining is being developed. So acts are building and will be based on experiences of people who have lived and experienced firsthand the complex situation. I want a vivid narrative, with actions and events that unfold from causes that trigger behavior changes and decisions.
