Tréminis, Grenoble, France. Lucy emigrated with her husband Battista in 1952. Children of poverty in the postwar years. A small world, just two years of school, family, and church. Her four children are free and independent, but in the end, they are more alone and more fragile. Her eight grandchildren, French in every sense, have more money, free time, culture, and interests. They all find solace in Lucy, always. Lucy's garden is what Lucy has sown: her loves, fears, and sorrows.
