Horticulture fans, be warned: This doc may leave you crepe-myrtle-red with envy. Fortunately, it also inspires and informs. Over the course of a year, we watch the grounds of a centuries-old Dutch estate shift from dormant to kaleidoscopic and back again. All of this occurs under the guiding hand of a master pruner who assures us, “To do this successfully requires a degree of obsessiveness.” However, enjoyment of Rosie Stapel’s film relies only on an appreciation of nature’s wondrous transformations.
