ADAM
When the Garden of Eden feels like hell – a journey to adulthood that ends with a rebellion
A story of a garden in which one must plant his own meaning
Adam (23), is a shy young adult who works in gardening for Gadi(40), an unusual Gardner with a great sense of presence.
On a Friday, Adam and Gadi arrive to work in a garden that Adam never visited before. This garden, unique and special resides in an old age home. Gadi, shows Adam around the “perfect” garden he created and gives Adam assignments that are meant to entertain Adam. Before Gadi leaves he gives him one single warning; not to enter a specific area in the garden that was sprayed against pesticide.
Adam finds himself alone in the old age home struggling with the boredom and starts to feel unsettled. Adam meets Albert, a funny cunning old man who’s attempts to lure Adam into entering the forbidden part of the garden is unsuccessful. Soon after, Adam encounters Eva(23), a yoga teacher that captures his heart and attention and completes his journey to adulthood when they enter the forbidden garden together where Adam finally learns of the true meaning and role of a gardener.
