The Gardener of God is a 2010 Italian drama film written and directed by Liana Marabini in 2010, about the life and works of Gregor Mendel, a Catholic priest who lived in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
[1] The film shows the life and works of Gregor Mendel, the father of modern genetics, from the perspective of a scientific monk, a man of prayer, faith and science.
Mendel will ask himself if it is possible to reconcile faith and science, and if his discovery will be useful for humanity or dangerous,[3] as it could be used for eugenics purposes.
In that sense, his benefactor and friend, the princess Hanna von Limburg, will be of a great help.
Mendel finally publishes his conclusions, and goes to the Vatican meet the Pope, who welcomes his works.
