The Constant Gardener

Based On the book by John le Carré

The Constant Gardener is a 2005 drama thriller film directed by Fernando Meirelles. The screenplay by Jeffrey Caine is based on John le Carré's 2001 novel. The story follows Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes), a British diplomat in Kenya, as he tries to solve the murder of his wife Tessa (Rachel Weisz), an Amnesty International activist, alternating with flashbacks telling the story of their relationship. The film's title derives from Justin's gentle but diligent attention to his plants throughout the film.
