Belgians and French look forward to it with bated breath: the start of the mussel season in the Dutch province of Zeeland. But how do these mollusks end up on our plates? And why do we love them so? L?Amour des Moules (Mussels in Love) is a feature-length documentary that follows the life cycle of a Zeeland mussel in an intimate, humorous way, turning a shellfish?s existence into an observation of love, life, and relationships. We get to observe the sea creature?s complete life cycle?the mussel that loves, the mussel that holds on with all its might, and the mussel that is cast off by a storm. On its odyssey from seabed to restaurant plate, the mussel encounters passionate enthusiasts who?like the mussel itself?fall in love, struggle, and overcome.
