The Gardener (Russian: Садовник) is a 1987 Soviet drama film directed by Viktor Buturlin.
[4] Alexey Alexeyevich Glazov, a hereditary gardener, grows apples in a collective farm orchard founded by his grandfather.
He sent apple tree cuttings by mail, free of charge, to people who requested them for grafting.
As a result, he had to testify before a district prosecutor, as he was suspected of illegal trading in socialist property.
They planned to replace it with a poultry complex, struggled to allocate workers for the harvest, and lacked a proper storage facility.
