A delightful and moving coming-of-age story. One summer, three young boys take an increasing interest in an eccentric old man who lives alone in a house surrounded by an overgrown garden. The boys form a bond with the recluse and set about weeding and replanting the garden.

A maneira magnífica e poética como os vínculos afetivos e as relações entre vida e morte são retratados é fantástica. Chorei, ri e amei.
