A gentle, introspective meditation on male friendship and renewal, built around two old friends reconnecting through the simple act of cultivating a garden.

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.
