Synopsis:

British director Richard Laxton's allegorical ensemble comedy Grow Your Own concerns a most unusual therapy doled out to local refugee families in London: an analyst allots a parcel of land to each group, and asks its kinfolk to farm vegetables there. Naturally, a myriad of complications arise - from a young man named Kenny (Alan Williams, who refuses to comply with the given ordinance and paint his hut red, to Miriam (Diveen Henry), a widow who believes that the spirit of her late husband has returned in the form of one of the gardeners, Little John (Eddie Marsan), to a Chinese immigrant, Kung Sang (Benedict Wong) whose wife died when packed into a shipping container. Matters grow increasingly sticky and complex for everyone when a cell phone company turns up and insists on planting an obtrusive mast in the middle of the land.

Drama. A refugee family are given an allotment plot to help rehabilitate their traumatised father. At first they are regarded with suspicion by the people who have worked the gardens for years but eventually they are accepted into a diverse community united by their love of making things grow.

An English community gets testy when a refuge family is granted a plot of land on which to grow vegetables.
