The Flower and the Flood is scheduled for release on May 3, 2026. The film centers on two converging events: an atmospheric river that destroys a saffron crop, and the subsequent return of floodwaters to Semá:th Xó:tsa — the Sumas Lake valley, drained over a century ago. Director Elisa González uses these events as a framework for tracing the lake's history and exploring how the renewal of saffron cultivation intersects with Indigenous cultural resurgence. The film is shot using hand-processed, analogue techniques, and poses the question of what saffron, as a crop and a symbol, discloses about human relationships with land and ecological repair.
