一朵康乃馨從哥倫比亞出發,飛抵一萬四千公里外的日本。種下它的,也許是一位曾被迫離鄉、獨自撫養孩子的母親。在武裝衝突與毒品戰爭的夾縫中,花卉產業成了她們重建生活的起點。
本片帶著日本消費者的感謝走進花田,讓那些長年隱身於花朵背後的人,第一次聽見來自遠方的回應。
Carnations are flowers that convey gratitude. They are indispensable on special occasions such as Mother’s Day and weddings. In Japan, more than 60 percent of carnations are imported. Colombia alone accounts for roughly 40 percent of the Japanese market and is the world’s largest producer.
In this documentary, we travel about 14,000 kilometres from Japan to visit a Colombian flower farm and meet the people working at the forefront of carnation production. Among the workers are single mothers who fled their homes during Colombia’s long internal conflict, which was intensified by the drug trade. As the flower industry expanded, it became a vital source of employment, particularly for women living in poverty.
By tracing the difficult history behind the industry’s success, this documentary portrays the powerful human stories of people striving to live with dignity. It also delivers video messages of gratitude from Japanese people whose lives have been touched by Colombian carnations. How will the growers respond?
