Synopsis
"Pierre-Joseph is 16 when he begins his gardener training, under the watchful eye of matriarch Françoise. What follows is an entire life dedicated to the sensuality of plants, in which he meets Alberto, Adrian, and eventually Kutta, Françoise’s first adopted son, all of whom play a pivotal role in PierreJoseph’s sexual education. A highlight of last year’s Director’s Fortnight at Cannes, Pierre Creton’s revelatory film is a multi-layered erotic romance that finds, in the delicately rugged world of botany, salt-of-the-earth labourers, hunters, and gardeners, a vision of love unbound by time.
