The Gardener

2025

The Gardener (2025) is a Spanish thriller series.

A former actor, La China Jurado, and her son, Elmer, are badly injured after a car accident. Elmer is a young boy at the time and, because of the trauma to his head, can’t feel emotions.

Because Elmer isn’t emotionally impacted by killing others, La China Jurado sets up a contact killing business using their gardening centre as a cover.

Things become more complicated when Elmer develops a brain tumour, realizes he now can feel emotions, and falls in love with a young woman called Violeta (Catalina Sopelana) he’s been contract to kill.

Violeta was orphaned as a child and has her own difficult past, including being suspected of murdering a demanding ex.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
