WHEN TOMATOES MET WAGNER (Closing film) by Marianna Economou
Before: Award ceremony for the Emerging Greeks Competition
In a dying farming village in central Greece, two cousins and five women decide to do things differently. With a little help from Wagner, Christopher Columbus and local myths, they cultivate an ancient tomato seed and enter the world market with their organic products. With humor and poetry, the film speaks to us about the power of human relationships, the ability to see life and the world differently and the importance of reinventing oneself during difficult times.
