GARDEN IN THE SEA is a documentary about art, landscape, and environment. Over a period of four years, the director followed Spanish artist Cristina Iglesias to the Mexican Sea of Cortez where she was commissioned to create an underwater sculpture that gradually would help enhance marine life. Expanding the form of a classic portrait, the film talks not only about the role of art but also about human passion, experiences, and longings and makes the stunning beauty of our world tangible inviting us to care for it.
