"En poste au Kenya, le diplomate britannique Justin Quayle apprend que son épouse, la militante Tessa Abbott, a été brutalement tuée alors qu'elle se trouvait en compagnie d'Arnold Bluhm, un docteur local soupçonné d'être son amant. Du coup, le placide Justin, un fonctionnaire peu ambitieux dont la seule passion est la botanique, sort de sa torpeur pour comprendre pourquoi sa femme a été assassinée. Le diplomate ne tarde pas à apprendre que Tessa et Arnold avaient découvert qu'une compagnie pharmaceutique, avec la complicité du gouvernement britannique, se servait des Africains victimes du sida pour tester un nouveau médicament, avec des résultats souvent mortels. Au péril de sa vie, Justin cherche alors à compléter l'oeuvre de dénonciation de son épouse."--Site cinoche.com, visionné le 10 décembre 2013.
After his wife is murdered in Kenya, Justin Quayle, a mild, low-level diplomat and a constant gardener, must investigate his wife's death, their relationship, and his own heart. In flashbacks, we see them meet, marry, and fall in love; we follow her in the teeming streets and clinics of Nairobi, usually accompanying Arnold Bluhm, a Black doctor with whom she spent the night before her murder, and who, after robbers, is the prime suspect. In his own investigation, Justin must not quail as he faces his memories, his colleagues, local police, hired thugs, and a nasty corporate CEO. Help and connections, as well as conspiracies, come from unexpected places.
In a remote area of Northern Kenya, the region's most dedicated activist, Tessa Quayle, has been found brutally murdered. Tessa's widower, mild-mannered and unambitious Justin Quayle, is one of the British High Commissioners stationed in Kenya. This career diplomat's equilibrium has been exploded by the loss of the woman he was deeply devoted to. Determined to "finish what she started," Justin embarks on a crash course to learn about the pharmaceutical industry, whose crimes Tessa was on the verge of uncovering, and journeys across two continents in search of the truth. His eyes are soon opened to a vast conspiracy at once deadly and commonplace, one that has claimed innocent lives - and is about to put his own at risk.

Constant gardener (Film cinématographique)
Constance du Jardinier
A man discovers a deadly secret when he tries to find out who killed the woman he loves in this suspense drama based on a novel by John Le Carré. Justin Quale (Ralph Fiennes) is a low-level British diplomat who has been given a new assignment in Kenya. Justin's wife, Tessa (Rachel Weisz), is an activist with a keen interest in issues of poverty and social justice; Justin urges her to avoid getting too deeply involved in the people living in Kenya, who are constantly dogged by poverty, but she shows little interest in obeying these instructions. This isn't the only area where Tessa has disregarded her husband, as she's been unfaithful in the past, and begins spending time with a handsome doctor once they've settled in Kenya. One day, Tessa disappears, and is soon found dead; officials believe that she was murdered by the doctor after some sort of argument. However, before long Justin becomes convinced that there was a larger scheme that led to Tessa's death, and he begins digging into areas where he's not especially welcome, given his reputation as a man willing to let the wealthy and powerful do as they will. The Constant Gardener was the first English-speaking feature from Brazilian filmmaker Fernando Meirelles, who directed the international success City of God.
