Overview

A tomato is planted, harvested and sold at a supermarket, but it rots and ends up in the trash. But it doesn’t end there: Isle of Flowers follows it up until its real end, among animals, trash, women and children. And then the difference between tomatoes, pigs and human beings becomes clear.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A searing 13-minute documentary that traces a rotten tomato from supermarket to landfill, using its journey to expose the brutal class hierarchies that determine who eats and who scavenges. It's a lean, furious indictment wrapped in the deceptively simple form of a tracking shot.
