Isabel, an elderly woman in Puerto Rico, is adrift after the death of her husband. When she uncovers an unexpected gift for planning funerals, Isabel begins helping her neighbors transform loss into moments of humor and care. As her role in the community deepens, connection and purpose quietly return. Perfume de Gardenias is a darkly funny and tender meditation on grief, creativity, and the surprising ways life continues.聽Best Feature, 2022 FEMI Film Festival; Best Narrative Feature, 2021 Trinidad & Tobago Film Festival; Best Feature, 2021 Puerto Rico Film Festival; Jury鈥檚 Special Mention, Narrative Feature, 2021 New Orleans Film Festival.
