What if plants were hiding their game well? From the memory of legumes to the musical sensitivity of Desmodium girans, a stunning glimpse of plant intelligence. According to naturalist classifications, there is a real gulf between the animal world and the plant world. However, following in the footsteps of Charles Darwin, renowned biologists are showing that plant intelligence may be a reality. Plants implement sophisticated strategies to live their sexuality, but also to travel. They would experience sensations. They even have memories. Jacques Mitsch humorously stages the real life of plants to reveal their hidden talents, without ever departing from his scientific rigor. Taking us to the shifting boundaries that separate the animal and plant kingdoms, he holds up a funny and exciting mirror to us. Director: Jacques Mitsch Authors: Benoit Grison, Jacques Mitsch
