Conversations with My Gardener

2007 · 109 min

A gentle, talky film that unfolds like a quiet afternoon in the garden, warm and witty, then quietly devastating.

Overview
A successful artist, weary of Parisian life and on the verge of divorce, returns to the country to live in his childhood house. He needs someone to make a real vegetable garden again out of the wilderness it has become. The gardener happens to be a former schoolfriend. A warm, fruitful conversation starts between the two men.
