Marco Landini, Gianluca Marcon | Italy | 2012 | 32'
At the senior citizens centre Casa del Gufo, is staged the prize "Ortobello", first beauty contest for vegetable gardens. The duel becomes an excuse to recount the municipal urban gardens. The protagonists: Peppino, who is 84 years old and a widower for more than twenty years goes to the garden because he would not know where else to go to spend his time. Guido, retired truck driver who is ninety years old, in the garden smokes cigarettes on the sly from his wife. Luciano, the favourite to win the trophy since his garden is perfectly organised.
