Two years ago, director Petr Michal impressed many viewers with his documentary, Found by the One She Seeks, for which he was awarded at the Ji.hlava IDFF and FAMUfest. This time, his visual style (thanks to shooting on film material) does not lose any of its impressiveness either, despite focusing on a completely different topic - garden colonies. What do the fenced borders of their worlds represent for Czech gardeners? And what do they mean for Petr Michal? Perhaps much more the small details of sound and visual sensations, than a complex anthropological research of the phenomenon. His film is above all an audio-visual poem.
