Show Description
Pablo and Tania del Valle, a young couple, new to the neighborhood, are looking forward to becoming friends with the older couple next door, Frank and Virginia Butley. Initial meetings go great, as particularly Frank and Tania have common ground (pun intentional) in their love of gardening and hatred of the tacky fence the previous owner put up. But a rushed social event to impress Pablo’s law firm bosses, combined with opposite gardening philosophies and property line confusion, bring more sensitive differences to light.
