Retired botanist Dong Ho lives alone, tending to his greenhouse. He cares for wild bees, makes seed bombs, and struggles to preserve the alpine plants he brought down from Mt. Baekdu a decade ago. One day, he encounters twelve-year-old Bom, who visits his yard in search of mulberry leaves for the silkworms Bom is raising. As a bond is cultivated between them, Bom suddenly disappears, leaving only a note and a silkworm kit behind. After waiting a few days, Dong Ho sets out with a sense of foreboding to find Bom.

A Lesson on Plants and Life
For what it is, it is a nice indie movie. A simple story about a friendship between a little girl and an old man (a Silkworm and a Bee). The English title is not very representative of the movie, so I prefer the original Korean title: 비밀의 화원 – Secret Flower Garden, because the movie is more about plants and flowers than animals. Still, we can say that it is simply a movie about nature and life in general, and the plants and animals serve as an allegory for life.There are also drawings and songs, so I would say that the movie uses a lot of subtle elements to connect the story and stir emotions. The fundamental purpose of the movie is to teach us to be more gentle toward all life, because we depend on it. We are all connected. I liked the message, so I liked the movie too.
P.S. I even noticed an image of Jesus in one short but meaningful frame of the movie.
