Our goal is to highlight the commitment of the people who cultivate the food we eat every day.
Each episode focuses on a specific product—from its cultivation in Île-de-France to its transformation, sale, and final consumption—offering a complete journey of a fruit, vegetable, dairy product, or meat. Whether they are cheesemakers, brewers, or horticulturists, we showcase local consumption through their expertise and experiences.
The show is centered around one producer, who serves as the main thread of the episode. Other contributors share their insights through direct-to-camera interviews and spontaneous reactions during their daily activities—be it plowing, harvesting, or crafting.
Through stunning cinematography, we emphasize the craftsmanship and techniques of these producers, highlighting the magic trio: the farmers, their raw materials, and their farms or countryside.
In just 13 minutes, our aim is to provide a clear understanding of the journey of these foods and the thoughtful choices made by these committed producers.
