A Cretan mountaineer “ate time” thanks to herbs and his life. He met and was known by many famous people of the 20th century, including the famous Fleming. He tricked time with the powerful herbs of Crete, the same herbs with which he lost his wife and child at a young age. The short film “Rosmarinus officinalis – Rosemary the Pharmacist” discusses a bitter truth: how a person can lose his life to an herb, and how another can live for over a century.
