Blumen des Schreckens (Day of the Triffids)
The Day of the Triffids is based on one of England's most popular science fiction novels, written by John Wyndham, and tells of a strange meteor shower. Anyone who observes the meteors instantly goes blind, which means that almost all of humanity will go blind.

At the same time, radiation from space has a magical effect on a plant, the triffid. Triffids hit by the meteor shower grow to enormous sizes, develop the ability to move, and spray a poison that kills humans within seconds. Humanity seems doomed to certain annihilation.
A sailor who wore a blindfold during the meteor shower for eye treatment did not go blind. He senses the fate of humanity if the triffids continue to spread. He desperately tries to find a solution. Will humanity perish?!
The film is a classic 1960s thriller that uses simple means to evoke a terrifying atmosphere of destruction. By chance, a solution is discovered that could help humanity survive. But will it succeed? The novel and the film offer a visionary perspective on the state the world repeatedly finds itself in.
