The Gardener's Year (Czech: Zahradníkův rok) is a 2024 Czech drama film directed by Jiří Havelka. It is based on real events.[1][2]
At the foot of a picturesque hill lives a gardener with his wife. They have their own garden shop. Their life is disrupted by a new owner of a nearby castle. He wants to transform the landscape according to his ideas. When gardening gets in the way of his plans, a series of bizarre events are set in motion. The new owner first builds a fence with razor wire and closes off the driveway. He gradually increases the intensity of his actions to achieve his goals. However, the gardener does not give up and tries to defend his home. When the police and the mayor drown in their own bureaucracy, the gardener decides to take his things into his own hands.
