A successful painter leaves Paris to return to the village in central France where he was born more than 50 years ago. Since the death of his parents the unoccupied house has been surrounded by gardens that the painter has neither the will nor the know-how to cultivate. To his great surprise his ad for a gardener is answered by an old friend from primary school. A mature, friendly bond develops between the two men that is enriched by the different experiences they have had in life. The gardener's directness and the genuine spontaneity of his worldly wisdom, in particular, captivates the metropolitan, who takes a new view of life, love, and of vegetables and funerals. The inconspicuously elegant direction of Jean Becker makes room for the meeting of two outstanding French actors, Daniel Auteuil and Jean-Pierre Darroussin, whose brilliant performances rank the story of the friendship between painter and gardener among the best French films of the year.

Daniel Auteuil and Jean-Pierre Darrousin met one day over a devastated garden and as they used to be friends and did not see each other for decades, they had a lot to talk about. And that talking was absolutely amazing. It’s that kind of talk when two friends, whose journeys were suddenly separated just so they could suddenly reunite again, meet. However, life is tough, and the screenwriters did not spare the viewer, so apart from pleasant conversations, which, if you properly listen to them, are at times really funny, you also encounter some not so pleasant dramas, which are a part of life as we know it. This movie made me feel great but also absolutely terrible. It made me connect with the souls of two people, who were trying to create a pretty garden in the middle of the French countryside, but then I felt everything with them.
