After decades of stability in this kingdom of plants, personnel changes are coming. But the past doesn’t want to go away. This film is about something bigger than just a story of a garden.

The film’s narrative is based on the fate of the Floriculture Pavilion and its long-term employee Mrs. Valentyna Voronina, who has maintained this space and invested her own life in supporting this centre. Suddenly she faces unexpected changes. After forty-five years of work, she is asked to retire. But Mrs. Voronina doesn’t agree with it, because she believes that all the plants will die without her. At the same time, a group of mysterious radiesthesists find a powerful channel of positive energy near the pavilion entrance.
