On every day off, the child - the central character - visits his grandmother who lives in an old house amidst a flower garden at the foot of a mountain. The grandmother is full of love and tenderness. We experience one of these visits through the child's narration, relating beautiful moments and rooted in his great love and appreciation for his grandmother. Years pass by, the wheel of life turns and the child becomes a father, then a grandfather. One day he decides to visit his grandmother's house with his grandchildren. The house had been transformed into a public park, a gift to the people of the neighbourhood. During that nostalgic visit, reality mixes with imagination and the present with the man's past and he finds himself facing strange manifestations: the garden sparkles with precious stones and the fig tree near his heart bears emeralds. Only then does he discover the name chosen by the mayor for his grandmother's garden - a name that reinforces his vision of Emerald Garden.
