Master Gardener
The seeds of love grow like the seeds of hate.
Directed by Paul Schrader
Produced by Kojo Studios, Ottocento Films
A dark character study of obsession and control set within the manicured world of a grand estate, where buried trauma and twisted relationships threaten to destroy carefully maintained facades.
Narvel Roth is a meticulous horticulturist who is devoted to tending the grounds of a beautiful estate and pandering to his employer, the wealthy dowager Mrs. Haverhill. When she demands that he take on her wayward and troubled niece, it unlocks dark secrets from a buried violent past.
