SYNOPSIS
Once upon a time, farmers' seeds were the guardians of cultivated biodiversity. Marie has been working with them for over ten years, at an altitude of 900 m, at the bottom of the Roya valley in the Alpes-Maritimes. In her eyes, they are a precious treasure of our civilization. A farmer with a fierce desire to preserve this intangible heritage, Marie defends a battle she can't fight alone. Her strength of action overshadows a very sensitive relationship with the world and with plants. So how do we strike a balance between battle and enchantment, so as to find an echo beyond? a reality where diversity and food autonomy are being turned upside down.
