Set in rural British Columbia, FLOWER & GARNET is a subtle and deeply moving portrait of a family living in an emotional no-man's land. With his mother passed away, his teenage sister pursuing her own interests, and a strictly macho father, young Garnet becomes a sullen, withdrawn child that no one seems to understand.
