More than just a family business: A Life Told in Flowers

Having a flower shop, sometimes, is more than just managing a family business. In this intimate portrait, a young florist from Poland revisits the childhood memories, family losses, and quiet moments that shaped their lifelong relationship with flowers.

She tells the story of how through generations of her family, arranging bouquets became both a craft and a way of processing grief, reconnecting with loved ones, and finding beauty in difficult times.

This is the first video of ‪@Popagandagr‬ ‘s series about plants and flowers from around Europe. This shortdoc is also part of our “Stories Breaking Borders” series. To watch other films in the series, check out our channel.
