When Tomatoes Met Wagner

With humor and originality, two cousins and five women from a village in the region of Thessaly in central Greece, confront the globalized economy with a tomato at hand. With a little help from Wagner, whose music they play on the speakers they set in their fields, as well as the stories they tell to build strength, they attempt to break into the market by organically growing an aged tomato seed. Marianna Economou seems to know the recipe for a documentary that makes you cry and laugh while recognizing the parallel paths of the people who live in the turmoil of a universal ecological and social crisis, in the country’s official submission at the 95th Oscars.
