The Gardener(2016)

The Gardener is a Latvian film about an aging man whose entire life revolves around a garden he no longer owns. Working in harmony with nature's rhythms, he speaks to the plants as if they're companions, finding purpose and shelter in the soil he tends. When autumn brings a heavy harvest and the young homeowners hire a second gardener to ease his burden, the old man's possessiveness and inability to share what he loves most forces him toward an irreversible choice. A poetic meditation on time's passage, the bond between people and land, and the collision between tradition and modern life, The Gardener explores what happens when a man's identity becomes inseparable from the earth itself.
