En 'Le jardinier d'Otchakov', Andreï Kourkov nos presenta a Igor, un hombre que vive con su madre en Kiev y prefiere pasar las noches con sus amigos en lugar de buscar trabajo o casarse. Sin embargo, su vida da un giro inesperado cuando un vagabundo tatuado aparece y le ofrece sus servicios como jardinero a cambio de un lugar donde dormir. Esta propuesta lleva a Igor a una aventura extraordinaria en la que, al ponerse un viejo uniforme de miliciano, viaja en el tiempo y el espacio hasta la ciudad de Otchakov en 1957. Allí, Igor descubre las costumbres de los bandidos de la época y los encantos de una vendedora de pescado pelirroja, dándose cuenta de que la historia cambia según quién la cuente y que no es necesario ser jardinero para cultivar la verdadera esencia de uno mismo.
