Based on one of the short stories from the "Decameron", "The Convent Gardener" mirrors the story of Young Gardener Masetto and presents, in two separate parts, the story of a young man and a young woman who pretend to be mute in order to get a job as a gardener in a convent inhabited by several women and several men, respectively. Because the young gardeners are mute and, therefore, assumably unable to reveal the secrets of the convent’s residents, all the women living there take action to sleep with the young man just as all the men do to sleep with the young woman.

An essay on love, friendship, sex, identity and art, led by the gaze of a group of young people who struggle with reaching adulthood.

This narrative follows a group of women determined to challenge the male monopoly in the production of agave distillates. Uniting under the banner of Mujeres del Mezcal y Maguey de México, they recognize their own value and the power of collaboration. Together, they strive to ensure that Mexico's producers and rural communities receive their fair share of the mezcal boom, all while honoring tradition and promoting environmental sustainability.
