She despises the Japanese for killing her younger sister, but to pay tribute to her soul she travels to the highlands to visit the renowned gardener Nakamura Aritomo. Aritomo refuses to work for Yun Ling but instead takes her in as an apprentice so that she can build her own garden. Residing in the tea room, Yun Ling begins working at The Garden of Evening Mists and learns to design a garden. Yet outside of the Malaysian jungle, another war is waging in Malaysia in a continued state of emergency.

Good Enough
Haven't read the book, which sounds pretty interesting after watching the movie, so I can't compare the movie to the film. But the film, overall, was okay. The leading lady did a good job with her performance, but the movie felt like they were leaving things out. The trip back the memory lane was well handled, though.
