Gigi is a police officer in a countryside where nothing ever happens. He never left the village and spends his days tending the garden. One day however, a young girl throws herself under a train. This is not an isolated incident. Facing an unexplainable suicide wave, Gigi starts investigating a strange world between reality and fantasy, where a garden turns into a jungle and where an ever-smiling policeman keeps his heart open to love. Gigi wonders and, in his own way, investigates, overwhelmed by his contradictory and unexplainable curiosity. He smuggles us into his world and, sincerely and fearlessly, he lets himself be observed. Through his eyes and emotions, we see and experience a little bit of his plant-filled world and there, with him, we share the mysteries that obsess him, the passions that move him and his spontaneous, forthright laughter.

Alessandro Comodin is an Italian director who studied cinema in Brussels.
