Flower & Garnet is a 2002 Canadian film written and directed by Keith Behrman.
A father finds difficulties in expressing his love to his children. Garnet (played by Colin Roberts) and Flower (Jane McGregor) have grown up in an environment of stifled grief. Since their mother died, Ed (Callum Keith Rennie), their father, mostly just lives without a goal. Eight-year-old Garnet struggles to comprehend the world around him, while sixteen-year-old Flower seeks love with her new boyfriend. Forced to become a real parent to Garnet, Ed buys Garnet a gun and shows, for the first time, his real affection for the boy.
Behrman won the 2002 Claude Jutra Award for the best feature film by a first-time film director in Canada. Composer Peter Allen won a Leo Award for his film score in 2003.
