Rock Garden: A Love Story chronicles the tale of two lonely neighbors as they struggle and toil with everyday existence, and how the most unlikely objects transform the way they see themselves, the world around them, and each other. With no dialogue, Rock Garden: A Love Story is a visually beautiful film that uses magic realism to illustrate daily drudgery, discovery, acceptance, and love.
Amidst a landscape of grey skies and stark fields, Farmer Ugg tends to his garden of rocks with the utmost care and diligence. He finds serenity, harmony, and peace, as well as sequence, regulation, and conformity. Life is in perfect order—until Farmer Ugg discovers his neighbour, Farmer Merr, who also tends to a garden of rocks. The two men instinctively begin to compete with each other. Who can best tend to a garden of rocks? This battle of mind and industry continue until the farmers each stumble upon a new discovery. And what they find changes everything….
