In a picturesque garden on a grand country estate, two long-time friends, an 85 year-old pruning master and the gardener, tend to the espaliers. Surrounded by vegetable patches, citrus trees, the orchard and lush grapevines, they talk about food, the weather, their craft and the changing world around them. For fifteen years, they’ve been working on the pear arbor. Capturing one year in the life of this historic garden, this documentary is a beautiful, transcendent viewing experience.
