Home Secretary
Una prisión británica donde se desarrollan programas experimentales de rehabilitación admite a un grupo de peligrosos delincuentes. En su encierro, Collin y algunos de sus compañeros descubren un innegable talento para la jardinería y, animados por Georgina, una experta horticultora, deciden inscribirse en un prestigioso concurso nacional. En la misma línea de "Full Monty" o "Billy Elliot", esta película se sirve de la cruda realidad en la que vive un colectivo desahuciado, en este caso un grupo de delincuentes en rehabilitación, para construir una amable comedia, quizás menos ácida de lo que cabría esperar. La cinta, escrita y dirigida por un desconocido realizador, Joel Hershman, está basada en hechos reales, y la protagonizan Clive Owen y Helen Mirren, dos actores británicos que volverían a coincidir un año más tarde en "Gosford Park".
