The Rose Maker

Eve (Catherine Frot) was content living her life focused on her passion: being one of the greatest rose makers in the world. However, when financial ruin threatens her livelihood desperate measures are required. Her loyal secretary, Véra, comes up with what she thinks is a brilliant idea to save them, and hires three hapless people from a back-to-work program. There is just one small problem: they know absolutely nothing about gardening.

Critic Reviews:

• " Despite some twee comic moments at the start, the story of a tough businesswoman gets real, turning its attention to a young man's second chances instead." – Reviewer ()

• " [Boasts] an underlying warmth, an interest in how the senses can bring people together platonically and professionally, and a blend of sincerity and insight layered over otherwise formulaic storylines. " – Sarah Ward (Concrete Playground)

• " While not quite laugh-out loud funny, the film is cleverly structured as an allegory of French society, with characters who grow and develop (like roses). " – Paul Byrnes (Sydney Morning Herald)
