An atypical gardener, Frédéric Lapouge works near Besançon and works at the Saline royale d’Arc-et-Senans. In the privacy of his garden, he invites his mentor Gilles Clément to share his poetic universe. A pioneering landscaper and renowned writer, the latter sheds light on this too often discredited profession with his chosen words. Because the gardener must know the plants before acting, he is a curious and patient ecologist. His precise gestures engage the body and the mind, they are also political. The gardener reveals himself as an artist when he dialogues and dances with the living. The film highlights gardeners who are already imagining the world of tomorrow!
With the gardeners Frédéric Lapouge, Gilles Clément, Mélanie Goyot, Denis Duquet, Caroline Giron and Stefan Pop.
