Die Blumenwiese
The wildflower meadow
Jan Haft / Germany / 2005 / 43 min / Colour
Hundreds of animals live in a wildflower meadow. These oceans of color offer a home to insects that live in the soil and fly among the flowers. At one time, these meadows were completely wild and changed according to natural rhythms. Today it is Man who, through the annual mowing of these fields, prevents trees from growing in them, which in turn permits their survival. The film reveals an incredible natural microcosm and through graphic animation illustrates the evolution of this ecosystem from the glacial period to the modern age; a magic journey through time, with many surprises.
