Wiki.
Isle of Flowers (Portuguese: Ilha das Flores) is a 1989 Brazilian short film by Jorge Furtado. It tracks the path of a tomato from grower to the child who collects it as food from a dump with the help of voiceover and a collection of illustrative images. The director stated the film was inspired by the works of Kurt Vonnegut and Alain Resnais, among others.
In 1995, Isle of Flowers was chosen by the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival as one of the 100 most important short films of the 20th century.
