A love for gardening won't stop the seasons from changing.
For József, head of the City Beautificators Association, Kazincbarcika is the centre of the world. Despite his old age, József is determined to find the city’s natural beauty, hidden between the cold, industrial post-Soviet architecture. With one goal in mind, he hopes to encourage others to fall in love with nature again.
After hosting the annual ceremony for the city’s best gardens and balconies, József contemplates the future of gardening in Kazincbarcika, and fears that his passion for the green grass of home will slowly fade away with him.​​​​​​​
