Charades has acquired international sales rights to Diego Céspedes’ debut feature “The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo” ahead of its world premiere at Cannes’s Un Certain Regard.
Set in the early 1980′, in the Chilean desert, the film tells the story of 11 year-old Lidia who “grows up in a loving queer family pushed on the edge of an unwelcoming dusty mining town. They are blamed for a mysterious illness that’s starting to spread – said to be passed through a single gaze, when one man falls in love with another. In this modern western, Lidia leads a quest for vengeance, facing violence, fear and hatred, where family is her only refuge and love might be the real danger,” the synopsis reads.
Cespedes said, “This isn’t a story about heroes. I simply want to reclaim those who were pushed aside and forgotten. And also laugh a little.”

Pedro Jimeno from The Family Chantel is in the Dominican Republic to celebrate a special occasion with his family. The reality star was once happily married to Chantel Everett. However, as Pedro excelled as a real estate agent, he started looking down on Chantel and filed for divorce in May 2022. Fast-forward to November 2024, he recently shared a downhearted Instagram Story, a video of himself looking out the window of a plane. In the video, Pedro suggested that he was flying out of the United States and included sad music lyrics about living without love and affection.
Pedro recently shared several Instagram Stories that revealed the real reason why he flew from America to the Dominican Republic. He returned home to celebrate his mother, Lidia Morel's birthday.
Pedro reposted Lidia's Instagram post on his own story to wish her a happy birthday, using the upbeat song "Beautiful Life" by Mentol.

After a successful first season, it’s no surprise that The Law According to Lidia Poet was renewed for a second installment. Lidia Poet was an exceptional lawyer and a prominent feminist figure. During the 19th century, when women were expected to abide by their gender roles, Poet dared to question the societal framework. Even though she had the opportunity to move to a country where women could practice law, Lidia chose to stay in Turin, Italy, and fight for the change she envisioned. The second season continues from where it had left off when it comes to Lidia’s personal life; there is one overarching case that unfolds through the course of the six episodes, though in every episode, separate cases are also solved.
Spoiler Alert

Chantel Everett from 90 Day Fiancé is taking sly digs at former husband Pedro Jimeno's mom Lidia Morel following her split with boyfriend Scott Wern. The 32-year-old Georgia resident became a popular cast member in the franchise since her 90Df season 4 debut. Chantel got married to the Dominican Republic native Pedro and their relationship's ups and downs with its unending family drama helped the two get their very own spin-off. In The Family Chantel, Lidia infamously picked on Chantel and took advantage of Pedro's marriage to “harvest the American dollar” to become one of the worst mothers-in-law in reality TV history.
After a month of being separated, Pedro filed for divorce from Chantel on May 27, 2022, and it does give Chantel freedom from her mother-in-law's taunts as well. But this time around, it's Chantel who's the one who appears to be throwing shade at Lidia instead. Chantel posted a picture...

90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way star Debbie Aguero has been spotted reaching out to a new cast member from the reality TV franchise who's feeling down at the moment. The 67-year-old introduced herself as a Sugar Hill, Georgia, woman who’d fallen for a 24-year-old in Morocco. Debbie wanted to get married to Oussama Berber and settle in his country, while he wanted quite the opposite. Oussama was clear about his intentions to get a Green Card and to be able to make and sell his art in the U.S. But suspicion arose that Debbie had not shown her true colors until the Tell-All, and she was accused of hogging all the attention at the reunion.
90 Day Fiancé star Debbie might not be wanting to stay single for long. Reddit user CelineCuisine spotted Debbie in the comments section of Scott Wern’s Instagram. Scott is currently starring...
