The film will take WHEAT as its central theme, striving to comprehensively and systematically trace the developmental trajectory of wheat in history, culture, and other aspects. It will connect various facets from agriculture to science, history, anthropology, and even the daily life of meals and vegetables, spanning from the domestication of grains in ancient times to modern global food trade. Through multiple dimensions such as domestication evolution, dissemination paths, ethnic customs, and civilizational imprints, the film will integrate species, farming, history, economy, war, diet, and daily life.
