Trailer for "The Rose Maker"

“The Rose Maker” tells the story of Eve Vernet (Frot), an artisanal horticulturalist, honoring her father’s legacy by continuing the family business, breeding and growing unique roses that compete in showcases all over France. Eve’s approach struggles to compete with the mass market production from her corporate rivals. With the business facing imminent bankruptcy or liquidation, Eve’s trusted secretary, Vera, makes a last-ditch effort to turn things around by hiring three new employees from a prison rehabilitation program.

Fred, Samir, and Nadège are misunderstood outcasts with fresh ideas, strong work ethics and absolutely no gardening skills. In a desperate attempt to save the business, the new team comes up with a perilous plan, and Eve unexpectedly discovers new parts of life that are worth nurturing in this colorful and touching comedy about growing new creations in mature soil.

“The Rose Maker,” which is not rated, is showing through May 5.
