Synopsis

An untidy room. Empty beer tins, empty wine bottles, a half-empty glass of whisky...

A girl is getting up absent-mindedly and starts preparing herself. YOUR morning starts. Lazy and hard-to-wake-up YOU. The emoticon is ME watching over YOU. I play tricks on YOU, while YOU are playing the guitar and drinking. One day, in town, YOU walk past THE CHILDHOOD FRIEND who is buying an Anemone I liked, and remembering that I liked them, YOU rush out to buy them. THE CHILDHOOD FRIEND displays the Anemone with care.

One day, years after I died, YOU hear noise from the closet. Opened, YOU see MY garden right in front of YOU. Overflowing emotions of ME and YOU. When exiting from the room with memories, a picture of the Anemone that YOU painted is displayed in YOUR new room.

(Souce: Annecy Film Festival)

When we grow up and reach adulthood, it is normal, sometimes, whether by chance or for plausible reasons, to abandon who we were during childhood or during who we were during adolescence, maybe because we must seek maturity or maybe we have made wrong choices along the way, Depending on how your journey to adulthood went, your life can be seen from different perspectives. Tomorrow you may be alone, tomorrow you may find love, tomorrow you may find death, tomorrow you may find the happiness of living... In this we only have one certainty... with absolute certainty we will abandon something, because growth demands it ...

Naoko Yamada's ability to purely express emotions through her marriage of audio and visuals is undeniably strong at this point. She seems to understand exactly what type of scene, what movements, and which colors totally encapsulate what she's trying to convey. Garden of Remembrance is a short that completely leans into this style of storytelling. It depicts a girl through her day to day life as we learn that she is grieving the loss of her lover, but there is essentially no dialogue and the whole short is set to music (by Lovely Summer Chan). Despite having some reservations, I definitely enjoyed this and found ...

Preliminary (1/1 eps)
Spoiler
I was lucky enough to see this at Scotland Loves Anime along with a Q&A with director Naoko Yamada who was happy to talk about the themes, ideas and production that made this short film happen. I am using the spoiler tag for a reason because I recommend people experience it for themselves without seeing spoilers.

The film is ~17 minutes long with no dialogue and is set to Lovely Summer Chan's rock based score as we go through several repeating loops of the main character's morning routine and show the impact of her coping with her feelings of loss.

The remaining parts of the ...
