Newlyweds Faidon and Anastasia are given a rent-free house with the sole obligation of tending to the garden. When the couple’s repeated attempts to have a child fail, Faidon’s superstitious co-worker persuades him that the only way out of his predicament is to plant a 30-foot palm tree in the garden. Desperate to “perform”, Faidon ignores the old adage “never dig in someone else's garden” and digs himself deep in trouble with the law, the Mafia and his eccentric landlady’s dark past.
A black comedy based on the novel Athootites by Kleanthis Danopoulos. |
