Synopsis

In a botanical reserve, two young guides lead tourist groups through a garden that seems to breathe on its own. Between formal explanations and fleeting glances, the plants become the protagonists of a sensual dance, where nature and desire intertwine. In a delicate, atmospheric setting, the film reflects on the line between scientific observation and sensory experience, evoking the latent eroticism of plant life. The Moving Garden is a visual and poetic journey where desire floats gently, like pollen in the air.
