Fumbling Towards Ecstasy

A wry tale of how one women’s sensuality is confined by a garden fence. A woman breaks free of her monotonous daily routine tending to her husband by escaping into her garden; its sensual pleasures evident in her minutely-observed expressions of delight. The garden’s sights and sounds offer welcome distraction as do the attentions of her neighbour. This winsome, dialogue-free film celebrates the often-overlooked sensuality of older women.
