By: Giulia Frati
“Pupa’s Garden” is a testament of the love and admiration I have for my grandmother. She has taught me that each person can do so much for his or her environment. She has proven to me that you can make the impossible possible with the sheer strength of your will. She has shown me unconditional love and undying hope throughout the hardships of life. She has stimulated me to create and to share beauty where others tolerate ugliness. She has encouraged me to strive for the light and to embrace the shadows of life. She has taught me to care for others and for nature.
The garden she has created for her community is the lasting symbol of all her teachings. With this film, I wanted to immortalize her spirit, give her back some of the love she has given me and share her wisdom with others. As the years pass, Pupa is more and more concerned about the future of her wonderful creation ; she is worried that noone will adopt her project once she’ll be gone. I hope the garden will continue to exist and that the film will inspire people to action as she has inspired me to creation.
