A dazzling demonstration carried away by the terrible black humor of its author, this film describes by the meanders of digression and the profusion of images and words, the journey of a tomato from the field of its Japanese farmer (what- what a Japanese? What is a human being? ...) to the Isle of Flowers, a landfill where pigs feed ... and the poor (What 'a pig? What is a poor man? ...). The documentary and political impact of this film, which stems from the revelation of the existence of this place where the survival of men comes after that of animals, emerges from a delirious and funny pastiche of didactic documentary (commentary + illustrative images) of which it marries the most varied forms. And the indignation only increased tenfold.
