Hybrid plot

The American Milford Beeghly is considered one of the pioneers in the field of genetic engineering of cereal grains. He started his company in 1930 and did extensive research into alternative forms of crossing wheat. The grain of wheat was his life, and each individual plant had its own personality in his eyes. However, this passionate and somewhat eccentric man was so absorbed in his work and his experiments that his family suffered. Looking back on her childhood, one of his children says that the grains were more important to him than she was: 'The father could communicate with the grain, but not with his children.' In a rather unusual form, in which animations of crawling and mating corncobs alternate with poetic shots of nature, 'Hybrid' tells the story of an unusual life devoted to the grain of wheat.
