Write a short summary of what happens in the film

WE NEED MORE FLOWERS celebrates the wonderful and incredibly diverse emotions that flowers bring into our lives. It’s a powerful ode that demonstrates how flowers are much more than eye candy by emphasizing how they work their magic in all moments that make life meaningful. In about 40 short scenes we list all the great things, moments, clichés, emotions, states of mind, reactions, peculiarities in life that flowers play a role in. And then asks for more of them. The entire film breathes life and has a music video energy. To bring our message across in the best possible way we used a spoken word artist, who adds power and a human touch
