Pierre-Joseph a 16 ans quand il intègre un centre de formation pour devenir jardinier. Il y rencontre Françoise Brown la directrice, Alberto son professeur de botanique, Adrien son employeur, déterminants dans son apprentissage et la découverte de sa sexualité. Plus tard survient Kutta, l’enfant adoptif de Françoise Brown dont il a toujours entendu parler. Mais Kutta qui est devenu le propriétaire de l’étrange château d’Antiville semble chercher autre chose qu’un simple jardinier.

In 1786, Goethe goes to Italy, to accomplish a childhood fancy. But how can he see the beauty of his Arcadia? There, everything is too ardent for the eyes, starting with Vesuvius which is erupting, and this mysterious Englishwoman famous for her “Attitudes,” a show inspired by antique sculpture.

At the beginning of the 80's, Brocatella sings the praises of telematics to her friend Nino, who doesn't know what is it. Yet, her job for Minitel Rose (erotic chat) bores her and doesn't let her forget her ex, Electra. But maybe love is just a click away…

During his trip to Italy, Goethe visited the botanical gardens of the cities where he stayed. He fantasized about discovering the existence of the primitive plant: the mold where all the others, despite their difference in shape, would have formed. During the shooting of a film adapted from this trip, I went twice to the Botanical Garden of Naples. Both times the filmstrip was visited by a ghost. I saw there the ghost of this primitive plant, but also the memory of the very beginning of the photographic recording, these photogenic drawings of plants invented by Henry Fox Talbot.
