In Common(2014)

Overview

In Common observes the life of a garden planted on a "vacant lot" in Los Angeles. As the days and seasons cycle through a year, different tempos of life exist in counterpoint. The gardener's rhythm of work, as she grows and harvests food, accompanies the scurrying of small creatures in the garden, the play of weather and light on the hillside, and the hurtling of cars across the city on the freeway below.
