Directed by Haruka Fujita, it was released in theaters in Japan in September 2019 and captivated many audiences.

Story Summary

The story centers on Violet Evergarden, an Auto-Memories Doll who writes down people's thoughts. This touching tale begins when she is sent to a girls' boarding school as an etiquette instructor for Isabella, the daughter of the prestigious York family.
Although the beautiful school, filled with blooming white camellias, is a place of longing for many girls, for Isabella it is a place that is practically a prison. However, her fateful encounter with Violet becomes a turning point that drastically changes her outlook on life.
