Written by Frank Cottrell Boyce and Carl Hunter, this heartwarming, bittersweet comedy germinated from the seeds of Hunter’s short documentaries made with Merseyside’s Art in Action.
A refugee family is given a plot to help rehabilitate their traumatised father. Initially they and other refugee gardeners are met with suspicion and hostility by the working-class men who’ve worked the allotments for years. Can trust, respect and a sense of community grow alongside award-winning cauliflowers and sharks-fin melons?
