The Belgians look forward to it with bated breath, just like top chef Sergio Herman, mussel breeder Henk and many others: the start of the mussel season. But how does this shellfish end up on our plates, and why do we love it so? Mussels in Love sheds light on the life of the mussel in an intimate,down-to-earth manner. We observe its complete life cycle: the mussel thatprocreates, the mussel that holds on with all its might, and the mussel that is cast off by the storm. Along the way, we encounter passionate enthusiasts who also fall in love, struggle and overcome!
