In the lush, sun-drenched gardens of 17th-century France, a fierce battle of artistry and ambition unfolds in this elegant period drama directed by Alan Rickman. Kate Winslet stars as Sabine De Barra, a talented but unconventional landscape gardener whose bold, free-spirited approach to design sets her apart in a male-dominated world. When she is unexpectedly hired by the formidable landscape architect André Le Nôtre (Matthias Schoenaerts) to help construct a magnificent water feature for King Louis XIV’s grand new palace at Versailles, she finds herself thrust into a treacherous world of courtly intrigue, rivalry, and rigid social hierarchy. As Sabine navigates the cutthroat competition among her male peers and the dangerous whims of the king, she also forges a deep, forbidden connection with Le Nôtre. With the king himself (Alan Rickman) observing their every move, Sabine must fight not only for her groundbreaking vision but for her very survival. A richly textured tale of passion, resilience, and the transformative power of art, this drama explores the personal cost of creating beauty in a world that demands conformity.
