Paradiso ritrovato - La parabola del giardiniere naturale

Directed by

Scascoli, province of Bologna, the Emilian Apennines. Gabriella, former actress, dedicated gardener and advocate of biological farming, has a dream: protect the environment starting from her own 1-hectare plot where she has created a sanctuary of rare and nearly extinct plant species, providing humble, spontaneously growing plants with the same care as their more noble counterparts. In her own backyard she is fighting a determined battle to preserve biodiversity and to show thousands of visitors from around the world how they too can do it.
