POPPY'S PROMISE
The cornfield - just an area for producing food... or a land full of secrets? In the western industrial nations cornfields and woods take up the greatest proportion of rural land. But how much natural life dwells in a cornfield? Why are some cornfield inhabitants harmful and others useful and what do the colourful flowers at the edge of the field promise us? Poppy’s Promise portrays a little recognized and rather unspectacular habitat right next door. We follow a hamster family through a season full of adventures and are drawn into an unknown world – a world of which we thought we knew everything about.
