Where Lichen Blooms 2025

Directed by Nix Vergara

A queer film about a daughter who lives in a shaky relationship with her mother. Despite being mother and daughter, they have their own differences: The mother, conservative and religious, while Jamie is an epitome of a daughter who is trying to escape from the conservative norm. Her mother is a representation of a woman who never gets to explore her womanhood because of the system and societal pressures and expectations that pulls her away from enjoying her gender. The daughter cuts this generational curse through exploring her womanhood.
