Summary: Ilha das flores explores the human disaster of poverty. Follows the journey of a tomato through planting, harvesting, being sold at a supermarket, rotting and ending up in the trash. But that is not the end, “its real end [is] among animals, trash, women and children. And then the difference between tomatoes, pigs, and human beings becomes clear”–Cf. publisher’s web site.
