A tomato is planted, harvested, transported and sold in a supermarket, but it rots and ends up in the trash. The film follows it to its true end, all to make clear the difference between tomatoes, pigs, and human beings.
The ironic, heartbreaking and acid "saga" of a spoiled tomato: from the plantation of a "Nisei" (Brazilian with Japanese origins); to a supermarket; to a consumer's kitchen to become sauce of a pork meat; to the garbage can since it is spoiled for the consumption; to a garbage truck to be dumped in a garbage dump in "Ilha das Flores"; to the selection of nutriment for pigs by the employees of a pigs breeder; to become food for poor Brazilian people.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
