Being There (1979)
A simple-minded gardener has lived his entire life isolated inside a wealthy man's estate. When his benefactor dies, he is forced into the outside world for the first time. His simple gardening metaphors are mistaken for profound wisdom by Washington D.C.'s political elite, who project their own ideas onto his blank slate, propelling him to unlikely fame.
