This documentary shows the director’s observation of three community gardens in Shanghai. Through close interviews with the staff, volunteers and residents who participated in the construction and maintenance of the gardens, a window is open for us to see how the simple and sincere connection among people in a busy and indifferent urban life is forming in everyone’s heart through simple acts taking place in small community gardens.
