    - Yes, yes, I am from a village.
  • 3:13 - 3:17
    - I was born in a village, in a garden close to a river, nothing special.
  • 3:17 - 3:18
    - So bad, no?!
  • 3:19 - 3:21
    No, no it was really nice, with the eggplants!
  • 3:22 - 3:23
    - With what?
  • 3:23 - 3:28
    - The aubergine, don’t you know them? Buah! In my garden there were a lot, they were pretty!
  • 3:29 - 3:33
    There were also paprika and beans, these are special but good people.
  • 3:33 - 3:37
    We had a lot of fun, during the day with the sun only for us and on the afternoon we were watering,
  • 3:38 - 3:42
    ... and in the night watching the stars, all of us sitting down and speaking…
  • 3:42 - 3:45
    ... ….with the lettuces, they are fresh! We had lots of fun....
  • 3:45 - 3:47
    ... in the morning with the gardener.
  • 3:47 - 3:48
    - With who?
  • 3:51 - 3:54
    -Don’t you know who is a gardener?! Who grew you up?
  • 3:54 - 3:56
    - An executive, who else?
  • 4:00 - 4:05
    - I am coming from an important greenhouse and I am the result of years and years of research and the best in transgenic...
  • 4:05 - 4:05
    - In what?
  • 4:06 - 4:07
    - Haven't you been genetically modified?
  • 4:07 - 4:08
    - I don't know... I am not sure...
  • 4:09 - 4:13
    - So then no. Listen we were all real tomatos...
  • 4:14 - 4:18
    ... we did not do vulgar things like watching the stars or speak...
  • 4:18 - 4:21
    ... we only focused on growing and growing in order to become big enough as soon as possible.
  • 4:21 - 4:28
    From time to time we ate plagicides, herbicides and lots of chemical products which protected us statically perfect.
  • 4:29 - 4:33
    Well, you can understand, we are the the best in agribusiness!
  • 4:33 - 4:35
    - What is agribusiness?
  • 4:35 - 4:41
    - It's progress! We travel thousands of kilometers to other continents, cultures... it is the best!!
  • 4:44 - 4:46
    -You have never traveled?
  • 4:46 - 4:50
    - Me? It was my first time today taking the bus!
  • 4:54 - 4:56
    - Eeeeehm, it is late, I must go!
  • 4:57 - 5:00
    - Can I taste you a little bit?
  • 5:00 - 5:02
    - Well, here in front of everybody, I don't think it is appropriate.
  • 5:02 - 5:05
    - Only for not loosing the opportunity... just a little bit...
  • 5:06 - 5:07
    - But don't damage my skin eh!

    - Me? Only manure and water.
  • 5:35 - 5:37
    -Uy, uy, uy, a little bit more...
  • 5:37 - 5:39
    - Well, don't overuse...
  • 5:41 - 5:45
    -You are so good! I want to marry you!
  • 5:45 - 5:47

  • 5:57 - 5:59
    - Why hybrids? You mean children?
  • 5:59 - 5:59
    - Of course.
  • 5:59 - 6:02
    - For me... if they are healthy...
  • 6:03 - 6:05
    - ...cause I want to be the mother!
  • 6:05 - 6:06
    - I am going to the toilet and come back, wait here.
  • 6:06 - 6:13
    - Listen to me, I would like them to study in Michigan, like me, because there is a scholarship and they are well attended!
  • 6:15 - 6:19

  • 6:43 - 6:53
    in countries of the south as well as of the north through a local production, agro ecological and distributed through short channels of commercialization directly to the consumers.

    Do not eat the world!
  • 7:12 - 7:14
    Yes and that is because I am a traveler.
  • 7:16 - 7:21
    I like to travel and I think that I ‘ve always liked the region here.
  • 7:22 - 7:25
    And there I think we will stay 2-3 months in summer. I would like that…
  • 7:26 - 7:28
    Yes…and maybe we can find there a small chalet or something…
  • 7:28 - 7:33
    If we have to take some of the university money of the children we have to take it. Because let’s see…
  • 7:33 - 7:37
    They don’t have to study everything, because I don’t care…
    I don’t care...
  • 7:37 - 7:40
    Hey!? Hey?!
  • 7:40 - 7:43
    My boyfriend is in the bathroom don’t close yet!

  • 7:45 - 7:48
