Taming the Garden

A powerful and anonymous man has developed an unusual hobby. He buys century-old trees, some as tall as 15-story buildings, from communities along the Georgian coast and has them excavated to collect them for his private garden. An ode to the rivalry between men and nature, and at the same time a whimsical investigation of “uprootedness” as a metaphor, the film portrays the needs and values of today’s Georgian society, while reflecting on forced movement and willing stasis.
