In Our Garden

About This Movie

So, 'In Our Garden' is this quirky little indie film from 2002 that kind of flies under the radar. It's set in a trailer park, which gives it this raw, almost gritty vibe that really works with the characters' struggles. Daisy, played by Gayle Wells, is a 60-year-old widow dealing with cystic fibrosis – you wouldn't think that could be the backdrop for romance, right? But the film manages to balance that darkness with some offbeat comedic moments, especially through Rick, the ex-cop played by Walt Dongo, who's battling his own demons. The performances feel genuine, and there's this strange tenderness in their relationship that grows amidst the chaos. It’s a unique take on love and resilience in unlikely places, with a tone that’s both melancholic and uplifting.
