English Summary:

The Constant Gardener is a 2005 drama thriller film directed by Fernando Meirelles. The screenplay by Jeffrey Caine is based on John le Carré's novel of the same name (2001). The story follows Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes), a British diplomat in Kenya, as he tries to solve the murder of his wife Tessa (Rachel Weisz), an Amnesty activist, alternating with many flashbacks telling the story of their love.

Justin Quayle, a low-level British diplomat and horticultural hobbyist posted in Kenya, learns that his wife Tessa was found dead in the veld. Tessa has been murdered at a crossroads along with her Kenyan driver. Her colleague, Dr. Arnold Bluhm, initially suspected of her murder, is then found to have been murdered on the same day as Tessa. Various rumours abound that the two were having an affair; it is later revealed that Bluhm was gay.

In flashbacks, we see how in London, Justin met his future wife Tessa, an outspoken humanitarian and Amnesty International activist. He falls in love with her, and she persuades him to take her back with him to Kenya. Despite their loving marriage, Tessa keeps from Justin the reason why she approached him in the first place: to investigate a suspicious drug trial in Kenya and expose it. When Tessa starts getting too close to uncovering the malpractices of an influential and powerful pharmaceutical company, she and her colleague are brutally murdered.

Hungarian Summary:

Észak-Kenya egy távoli tartományában a várandós aktivista jogász Tessa Quayle-ra egy brutális gyilkosság áldozataként találnak rá. Tessa férje, a brit diplomata Justin Quayle nekifeszül, hogy a hátrahagyott nyomokból a gyilkos után eredjen. Csakhamar sikerül kiderítenie, hogy felesége terhelő iratokat állított össze egy multinacionális gyógyszercég ellen. Tessa azt feltételezte, hogy a tuberkulózis elleni gyógyszer kifejlesztése érdekében emberkísérleteket folytatnak az éhezőkön. Justin előtt kezd összeállni a kép, miért is kellett feleségét elhallgattatni, sőt, hamarosan arra is rájön, hogy a gyilkosok közelebb vannak hozzá, mint azt valaha is gondolta volna.
