      More interesting than average synopsis suggests. Surpassing racial and immigration issues, by portraying complex family relations and swindling social services as a bonus
      Saw this during the Movies That Matter 2021 filmfestival, normally in The Hague but now 100% online. In the first hour I had the wrong impression that the migration/racial issues where the main ingredients of this movie, things we have seen in plenty of documentaries. Luckily, it becomes more complex and also more interesting when other sides of Indiana's life are revealed. She, for example, has swindled social services for many years already, which counters her disdain for migrants who work to earn their own salary, like her maybe-daughter-in-law does. This makes this movie surpassing the usual race/national supremacy theme, also making us curious while watching how these story lines can come together in the end.

      I wanted to write much more about this movie, but it is easier for me to refer to an already existing review in MovieMovesMe(dot)com, under the title "TIFF 2020: The Garden", written by Ulkar Alakbarova. I fully agree with that review and cannot add anything useful.
