The Gardener

El jardinero

In the gripping narrative of 'The Gardener', we witness the tragic transformation of Elmer, portrayed masterfully by Álvaro Rico. From a young age, Elmer's emotional detachment was a source of concern for his mother, who saw an opportunity to mold his unfeeling nature into something lethal. Trained as a hitman, Elmer embraces the cold world of contract killing, where emotions are a liability and compassion is an unfamiliar territory. His mother believes that by exploiting his lack of feelings, she can instill in him the discipline necessary to succeed in this dangerous profession. As Elmer navigates this unforgiving environment, he finds himself entangled in a web of moral dilemmas, forced to confront the very humanity she sought to suppress.

However, everything changes when Elmer encounters his next target, a woman whose warmth and vibrancy spark feelings he thought were long buried. As he goes undercover as a calm and unassuming gardener, maintaining the façade to protect both his identity and the target, the lines between his predatory instincts and genuine feelings begin to blur. Cecilia Suárez, who brings the character of La China Jurado to life, introduces an enchanting dynamic as the target that captivates Elmer’s heart. Their interactions reveal layers of vulnerability within Elmer, showcasing the struggle between the cold-hearted assassin he was trained to be and the human being he yearns to become.

Caught in this internal conflict, Elmer's resolve is put to the ultimate test. As the garden they work in becomes a symbol of new beginnings, the stakes rise and tensions escalate. The careful coordination of their double lives begins to unravel, threatening both their safety and the hope of a life unburdened by violence and deception. 'The Gardener' is not merely a story of crime and emotional conflict; it is a poignant exploration of redemption and the primal battle between love and obligation, showcasing the lengths one will go to protect the fragile bond that blossoms in unexpected circumstances.
