Garden Of the Evening Mists (2019)

Director: Tom Lin Cast:  Angelica Lee, Hiroshi Abe, Sylvia Chang                              

based on Malaysian author Tan Twan Eng's novel first published in 2012, titled In french : “Le jardin des brumes du soir”  [interview]

"On a mountain above the clouds once lived a man who had been the gardener of the Emperor of Japan."

‘Self-exiled from imperial Japan after a dispute with his employer Emperor Hirohito, Aritomo settles in the hilltops of Malaya and begins to build Yugiri, a "garden of evening mists". Into his life comes independent Yun Ling, daughter of a prosperous Chinese Malaysian family, and the sole survivor of a prisoner-of-war camp. It is 1951, and she is a prosecutor of war criminals and a hater of all things Japanese – except one. Her request to Aritomo is simple: build a garden for her sister who perished in the camp, and who loved the gardens of Kyoto’.
