Mussels In Love

The Belgians are eagerly awaiting it. Top chef Sergio Herman and farmer Henk are too. And with them, many others: the start of mussel season. But how does this little shellfish end up on our plates? And why is it so popular? L’Amour des Moules takes an atmospheric and intimate look at the life of the Zeeland mussel. We see the entire life cycle: the mussel that loves, the mussel that eagerly seeks a foothold, and the mussel that is torn loose by the storm. Along the way, the mussel encounters passionate lovers who also fall in love, struggle, and survive. Biologist Annelies introduces us to the sexual world of the mussel. Then she herself turns out to be pregnant with the mussel man. After a love-hate relationship with the shellfish, top chef Sergio now specializes in preparing it. Gynecologist Jan uses mussel glue to save the lives of unborn babies. And then there is the phenomenon of the mussel princess.

Fantastic Fungi

A vivid journey into the mysterious subterranean world of mycelium and its fruit— the mushroom. A story that begins 3.5 billion years ago, fungi makes the soil that supports life, connecting vast systems of roots from plants and trees all over the planet, like an underground Internet. Through the eyes of renowned mycologist Paul Stamets, professor of forest ecology Suzanne Simard, best selling author Michael Pollan, food naturalist Eugenia Bone and others, we experience the power, beauty and complexity of the fungi kingdom.
