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.

What ties these together is injustice, rage, and feeling powerless. The world both films live in revolves around corrupt institutions, class and money, and poverty. Both move the same way too, dark comedy, bleak, and escalating.
