Directors Statement
The First Gardener is a somber yet luminous story. The First Gardener is a quiet story. A story in which fine details carry important meaning, in which atmosphere speaks to the viewer rather than words. A story that is deliberately simple and yet profound. A story in which fear, separation and old structures hold the protagonists in their grip and have to be dissolved and replaced by new ones. Not through violence, struggle or resistance. But through love. Through hope. And through togetherness. Our togetherness and solidarity, our affection and love for each other and our diversity are our greatest strengths as humanity and it is precisely these aspects of live that I want to pay attention to with this story. It's a story about love amidst layers of fear and about how this love can grow and prevail, like a delicate flower that will eventually break through even the thickest layers of concrete.
