Tales from the Magic Garden

"Did your grandmother ever tell you stories? What if she suddenly vanished—how much would you miss her voice, her scent, the magical tales she wove? Tales from the Magic Garden chases precisely this feeling. Three siblings, faced with their grandmother's mysterious absence, try to cope with loss through an apple tree hut, a distracted grandfather, and stories blooming from Suzanne's imagination. Director David Súkup approaches the children's world with such reverence that every glance, every silence, every smile on screen feels achingly real. And those stories? The three tales penned by Arnošt Goldflam dance on a thin thread between reality and fantasy. They leave one question lingering: Can filling Grandmother's absence with stories ever bring her back? Or are stories the only way we keep our lost ones alive in our hearts?"
