Gardens of Stone (1987)
Set against the backdrop of Arlington, Virginia during the tumultuous late 1960s, a dedicated sergeant grapples with his yearning to protect young soldiers bound for Vietnam. Frustrated by repeated refusals to share his hard-earned wisdom, he redirects his efforts toward guiding the son of a former army comrade. As he navigates the complexities of duty and loss, the sergeant strives to impart valuable lessons, hoping to shield the next generation from the horrors of war while confronting his own emotional turmoil.
