“Slovakia in the heart of Europe, Kenya in the Eastern corner of Africa - two geographically distant countries. Few decades ago we could say that they have nothing in common. In the meantime, however, the globalisation created denser net of mutual relations and connections all around the world. Slovakia and Kenya are not exceptions. The question is which of these two countries benefits and which one looses from this relationship? The documentary Kvety pre Európu (Flowers for Europe) investigates the influence of rich global North on developing global South by bringing stories from two Kenyan regions.”
