With their colours, shapes and scents, flowers enchant and fascinate us. This series offers 3 spectacular films on the most popular flowers we thought we knew all about. Tulips, jasmine and cherry blossom will surprise you! These flowers are increasingly a part of our daily lives and all over the world, our infatuation with their flower crown is growing, sometimes to the point of excess.
In this documentary series, we look at the domestication of wildflowers. They are shown in their natural habitat, as they exist in their wild thaw, allowing us to discover some extraordinary places. A sea of multi coloured flowers swaying in the wind, high mountains bathed in light or impressive valleys full of flowers…. These are the landscapes of Tamil Nadu in India, Kansai in Japan and those of the Netherlands and Kyrgyzstan.
The tulip is the story of a flower that drove mankind to madness. Greed, desire, fear, devotion, as well as heart and mind have all played their part in the conquest of the world – from the steppes of the Caucasus to northern Europe.
Why has it left its mark on so many lives, over so many centuries and in so many countries? What appeal and enchantment does this queen flower have? Where did she come from? What is its situation today?
The episode of this series on the tulip requires research, film shoots to be organised, planned and supervised. Additional equipment must also be organised and rented for the filming. For extra filming a Dutch cameraman needs to be organised, a filming days needs to be planned and accompanied and direction is needed.
