Isle of Flowers (Portuguese: Ilha das Flores) is a 1989 Brazilian short film by Jorge Furtado. It tracks the path of a tomato from garden to dump with the help of a monotone voiceover and a collection of bizarre images. While a very humorous film, the message it delivers about how human beings treat each other is anything but such. The director himself has stated that the film was inspired by the works of Kurt Vonnegut and Alain Resnais, among others.

  • @BobLeMont I said we speak Brazilian because my English teacher said that in English we don't say Portuguese for language. For example: people from Canada don't speak Enlgish, but Canadian. Got it?? BTW, my teacher is Canadian, so I think he's right ;)
