‘Flower Girl’: A Fearless Filipino Comedy Movie Redefining Gender and Identity

Flower Girl is here to blow your world, and just maybe, make you feel like losing a vagina along the way! This new film blooms from the creative trifecta of The IdeaFirst Company (And The Breadwinner Is…, and Die Beautiful—you know the vibes), Octobertrain (Bwakaw, Barber’s Tales) and CreaZion Studios (of Isang Himala and Everything About My Wife fame). Starring Sue Ramirez, Martin del Rosario, and Jameson Blake, with KaladKaren and Maxie Andreison serving face and fairy magic, it’s written and directed by Fatrick Tabada who also wrote â€œPatay na Si Hesus.”

The plot? Buckle up, mga accla. Sue Ramirez plays Ena, a sanitary napkin endorser-slash-modern Filipina navigating life, love, and suddenly—charan!—no vagina. After offending a trans woman, played by KaladKaren, in a women’s bathroom, telling her that she should use a men’s room instead. This trans woman turns out to be a fairy or a babaylan and casts a curse on Ena.  Ena wakes up missing her most precious poochy. The only way to get it back? Fall in real, genuine, tadhana-level love before a magical flower sheds its last petal. Kung hindi? Goodbye, girlhood—hello, flat down there, no more poochy forever.

“This film is an irreverent comedy that tackles a very relevant topic: Gender Politics; but we made it fun, fearless, and fierce,” says director Fatrick Tabada. “We’re talking real questions like: Kung mawala ang flower mo, who will still love you? More importantly, who are you without it?” Ang deep, ‘noh?

“Part of our mission is to give light to issues that are kept in the dark, and this film reminds us that there is still so much unheard of when we discuss the Filipina story,” TheIdeaFirst Company’s President and Director Perci Intalan. 

CreaZion Studios’ CEO RJ San Agustin adds, “As we champion Filipino stories, we’re also challenging the norms and rewriting the HERstory of the modern Filipina—with or without poochy.”

So if you like your comedy meta bursting with poochy’s and plot twists, Flower Girl definitely slays! 

Coming to major cinemas this June. Ready ka na bang mamukadkad, acluh? 🌸
