The Blue Flower of Novalis

Original title: A Rosa Azul de Novalis

Directed by Gustavo Vinagre

Marcelo, a 40-year-old dandy, has a memory like no other. Monologuing between coffee and gay hookups, he holds court on a wide range of topics: his status, his Catholic grandmother, and his unusual sexual fantasies. At times, he takes himself for Genghis Khan or poet-philosopher Novalis.
