The Saffron Woman

Christine Ferrari lives the life that many women can only dream of In her mid-forties Christine Ferrari took a brave step and gave everything up to find happiness in Morocco. She delved deep into the culture of the Berbers, who taught her the real meaning of life: being in balance with herself and nature. Soon, she discovered a small house with fertile land and finally she knew what she wanted to do: cultivate saffron. During a visit to Switzerland, she decided to bring her lonely father who was suffering from dementia back to her new homeland. In the latter years of his life, her father bloomed just like the saffron does each autumn. Christine sells the spice to gourmet restaurants around the world.
