- Brothels are rarely seen as safe or dignifying. Yet, in a red light district of Colombia, a country torn by decades of war, there's a tiny brothel named "Tabaco y Ron," which acts as a shelter and shield for trans sex workers that work there. Through a choral portrait of the trans community that inhabits the brothel, Todas Las Flores constructs an intimate vignette of this remarkable space. Located in Santafé, Bogotá, the brothel operates in a zone that concentrates all the miseries of a bloodstained region but is also an oasis for all people desperately fleeing war.
- Walking the dark, invisible passageways hidden behind Bogotá's bright neon lights, Diana, a transgender woman becomes a crucial catalyst of the Zona Especial de Servicios de Alto Impacto (ZESAI). ZESAI is a social policy experiment intended to promote social integration by legalizing sex work within the residential neighborhood of Santa Fe.
- In San Basilio de Palenque (Colombia), Grandfather Florentino is seriously ill and has gotten worse, his grandson Keyner must tell his uncles who live in Mahates, another town in the area, to go see him before it's too late. Keyner calls them but the cell phone signal has dropped again. Seeing the gravity of his grandfather, Keyner decides to go out on his old motorcycle to Mahates but halfway is stranded. At night, still stuck on the road, Florentino appears with his donkey. Bewildered Keyner does not understand what is happening and without knowing it, he discovers the ancestral trade his grandfather dedicated to: being a chakero, carrying the news and messages from town to town. Upon awakening, Keyner sees the donkey that Florentino was bringing at night, and without knowing if it was a dream he decides to follow his path on the animal's back. This is how he manages to reach Mahates and warn his family that his grandfather is in serious health, but when Keyner returns home Florentino has already died, or as the tradition palenquera marks, he has left on his last trip to Africa. With a traditional rite known as Lumbalú, Keyner and his family farewell Florentino.
- Los Monos, Puerto Sábalo and Berlin, some of the reservations where the Uitoto ethnic group live, are two days away by boat from Florencia (Caquetá), in the middle of the Colombian Amazon. They are distant lands and forgotten by the central government, whose inhabitants constantly suffer the damages caused by the use of chemicals by illegal miners in the region. Diogenes is tired of it and wants to show the world what is happening in his community.
