Synopsis
Talking vegetables introduce key arguments for opening adoption records to adult adoptees and their biological relatives. Rather than a comprehensive or detailed study of adoption issues, this film is a pro-disclosure discussion starter intended to introduce viewers to this very sensitive and emotional topic, using the subversive nature of animation to provoke thoughtful reflection.
