The Plant Hunters of Dalmatia

On the Coast of Croatia

Two young botany enthusiasts from Switzerland.
Three weeks on Croatia's wild Adriatic coast.
And a secret that has been hidden for decades.

Nora (16) and Elias (15) spend their holidays between the coastal mountains, old stone villages and abandoned terraced fields of Dalmatia. Actually, the two just want to document rare plants, medicinal herbs and forgotten Mediterranean varieties.

But soon they discover clues to an abandoned village high up on the edge of the mountains.

Plants are said to still grow there that have never been changed by modern influences.
