Here is Carlota Gonzalez-Adrio's statement about the project:
The House Among the Cactuses’ is a story built around darkness and silence, around that which we cannot see, but which is slowly unveiled to reveal the complexity at the heart of one family…of people and their universe.
Here is the Ivan Diaz, head of international for Filmax, statement about the project:
Throughout our career selling genre movies, those films that have worked best for us are those which are reminiscent of ‘The House among the Cactuses,” because they know how to masterfully build tension, how to be disturbing and how to have audiences on the edge of their seats.
Here is the goodreads synopsis of Desert Flowers:
Rose and Elmer have created an idyllic sanctuary for themselves and their five daughters in Mexico’s Baja California desert. Out there in the middle of nowhere, blissfully cut off from the burdens of modern society, they’re free to raise their beautiful family…and preserve its secret.
And they’re never giving it up.
Then a young hiker named Rick comes looking for a place to stay. It’s just for the night, he says—but long enough for Rose and Elmer to fear they’ve made a horrible mistake. As the stranger grows more intrusive and more suspicious, the couple know they must do what they can to protect themselves. What they don’t know is that Rick has a secret, too. Soon, home and family will prove to be as cold and dark as the desert nights. And even with so many places to run, there’s still no escape from the past that binds them.
