USA | 1972 | 89’ | PG | Douglas Trumbull, Bruce Dern 

After the end of all botanical life on Earth, ecologist Freeman Lowell maintains a greenhouse on a space station in order to preserve various plants for future generations. Assisted by three robots and a small human crew, Lowell rebels when he’s ordered to destroy the greenhouse in favour of carrying cargo, a decision that puts him at odds with everyone but his mechanical companions. Lowell and his robots are forced to do anything necessary to keep their invaluable greenery alive. 

“Delivers its ecological message with humour and imagination… deeply moving” 

Phillip French, The Guardian
