Description
In England at the end of the 19th century, strict social conventions still prevail. The headstrong and brave Elizabeth is the daughter of a prominent botanist and collector of valuable plants. She too loves flowers and is a great illustrator. Unfortunately, she is a woman, and thus cannot fulfill her desires for exploring foreign lands and plants. All of this changes when her father falls seriously ill and on his deathbed entrusts his daughter with a risky and dangerous task. And Elizabeth sets sail for the greatest adventure of her life. ***** On the other side of the world, in Sydney, Australia, several decades later, Anna mourns the loss of her beloved grandmother. It was she who awakened in Anna a love for everything that grows. During the renovation of her grandmother's house, Anna discovers a strange little box in the wall, containing a sketchbook full of beautiful watercolors from the late 19th century and a bag of seeds. ***** If Anna wants to find out how these items ended up hidden in the wall of the old house for so long, she too must embark on a journey and finally confront her own demons.
