You can watch Tim (1979) for free on Kanopy.

Handsome but backward gardener Tim Melville has a new woman in his life. She is Mary, his widowed employer, a woman who had given up on love until she had found Tim. At first they are friends. But soon they become lovers, as Mary, drawn to Tim's innocence and magnetism, begins to teach him all about life - and love.

A sun-drenched, quiet intimacy permeates this slow-burn romance between a lonely widow and her unrefined gardener. It captures the tender, awkward friction of two people learning the language of affection through simple, shared moments.
