Since the 17th century, the Jardins des Tuileries in Paris have been a place for same-sex encounters and meetings, a tradition which was disrupted by the organization of the 2024 Summer Olympics. The images in To Our Gardens, captured a few months before the occurrence of the Games, were able to immortalize the twilight of a social phenomenon. Under the gaze of the statues, in the night and among the foliage, men meet in raw scenes while never diminishing the film's powerful intimacy.
