Frequently asked questions

What is Isle of Flowers about? Toggle content

In this thought-provoking documentary, we follow the journey of a tomato from a farm to a supermarket and eventually to a landfill, where it becomes food for the poor. Along the way, we see how the tomato's value changes hands, from the farmer to the consumer, and how it becomes a symbol of the inequalities in our society. The film raises important questions about the economy of consumption and the consequences of wastefulness. With a clever and ironic narrative, "Isle of Flowers" challenges our assumptions about the value of food and the human condition.
