Synopsis
When you open a wine bottle, do you know where the cork stopper came from and how it was made? What if your stopper could go back into the factory and into the forest, for the cork oak tree “making of”? That would be possible if you could bend the laws of logic, time and gravity, as we did it in this film, pointing out the importance of the cork stopper production, in the ecologic and economic sustainability of the Mediterranean “montado”, a multifunctional ecosystem rich in biodiversity.
