Tomato flower

Osvaldo is a lonely old man. Giovanni, his son, is in jail.
The only Osvaldo's distraction is the home tomato garden, but the difficult and hard soil and the fatigue of the body make his attempts to grow something vain.
Upon learning of his father's efforts to dig in his own garden, Giovanni writes to him to let it go. But why? Is it just a precaution? Or does that land hide some secret?
Tomato flower tells the bond between father and son.
