The Sower

About This Movie

The Sower is a fascinating look into the obscure world of rare plant seeds, anchored by Patrice Fortier’s unique approach to cultivation. Set against the lush backdrop of Kamouraska, it feels almost meditative in its pacing. The atmosphere is both tranquil and contemplative, tapping into themes of nostalgia and preservation. Fortier’s passion is palpable, and you can’t help but feel the weight of history in his hands. The film does a remarkable job of bringing to life the concept of 'old futures,' making you ponder what we’ve lost in our rush forward. It’s not just about gardening; it’s a deeper exploration of connection to the past through living things, and the practical effects of nature are truly captivating.
