This film was shown at Lunafest 2003, a film festival celebrating women, and the film was brilliant. It a series of film clips and pictures with a woman narrating. The story is cleverly weaved and the point about freedom of choice in America, especially for women's reproductive rights, builds in a very interesting and meaningful way.
Sociological over explanation, first for humorous then for poignant effect, on the topic of abortion. An unseen narrator explains, as if the viewer was from another galaxy, life on earth generally, and in the United States specifically, and relates the topic of reproduction, government and abortion to one particular family.
Through the use of film clips, news reports, and other elements, the story is told of the Adams family, a politician father, a caring mother, their daughter and her boyfriend, and how this topic becomes an important part of their lives. Included in the discussion is the history of the Constitution, a biology lesson of mammals, a geographic and sociological examination of the planet and a look at the rise of feminism in the USA.

Nowhere does it say this film is structured the same as "Ilha das Flores," so I'm guessing most people don't know this. It was creepy watching this unrelated film with Isle still fresh in my mind- I thought I was watching the same movie.
In any case, the relevance of the film is kinda lost when you spend most of the film wondering why or how this film ended up emulating a previously existing film.
My conclusion is that Isle of Flowers was so successful at communicating its message, the director of this film decided to reuse the formula.
Not a bad film- it makes a strong, clear point- however just an awkward watch for someone who has seen the original version. I can't give the makers bonus points for creativity, but I guess they can have some points for finding a clear way to express their ideas.
But alas, I've spent more time thinking about the structure of the film then the message. I don't think that's what Tiffany wanted.
