The Garden (2020)

Overview

‘The Garden’ explores a semi-abandoned backyard shared by four blocks of flats in Monteverde, Rome. It was filmed and initially released online in three parts, during the first weeks of covid-19 lock-down in Italy. It follows a permanent resident who acknowledges the value of such space, fantasizing on its possible future. The author instead wishes for a closer attention to the invisible life in action, that of plants and insects.
