Violet Evergarden: The Movie

Daisy, Anne Magnolia's granddaughter, stumbles upon letters addressed to her grandmother on birthdays. The discovery sparks curiosity about the legend of Violet Evergarden, known for writing letters for others. She wonders about the truth behind the name and the woman who inspired so many lives.

More than half a century ago, a terminally ill boy named Yuris asks Violet to write letters for his family after his death. Violet agrees to help, understanding the comfort his words could bring to loved ones. The request seeds a lifelong path for her future letters.

Claudia Hodgins finds a mail with a vague address and recognizes the handwriting as Gilbert Bougainvillea's, whom they believed to be dead. He traces the origin to the remote island of Ekarte and resolves to bring Violet there. The plan sets in motion Violet's return to the island and its haunting past.

Claudia travels to the remote island of Ekarte and discovers Gilbert Bougainvillea alive, though missing his right eye and arm. He is haunted by guilt over the misery he believes he caused Violet and refuses to meet her. His refusal creates a tension that shadows Violet's arrival.

Violet makes efforts to see Gilbert, hoping to bridge the distance between them. Gilbert declines to meet her, insisting she would be happier without him. Violet's attempt ends with an emotional breakdown, highlighting the weight of their unresolved past.

A storm prevents Violet and Claudia from leaving the island. A telegraph message arrives stating that Yuris' condition has worsened, forcing them to stay and reorient their mission. The dual urgency of the weather and Yuris' fate shapes their choices on the island.

With departure impossible, Violet has one last task to write a letter for Yuris' friend Lucas. She asks Iris Cannary to substitute for her, ensuring the message reaches Lucas. The moment underscores Violet's commitment to fulfilling Yuris' wish even from the island.

Benedict Blue brings Iris to the hospital where Yuris lies unable to rise from bed. He is too weak to speak for long, making every word precious. The hospital setting becomes the stage for the final exchange of messages.

Yuris arranges for Lucas to hear his message through a telephone connection. This call lets the boy's last thoughts reach his friend, bridging time and distance. The scene ties Violet's letters to living voices in the moment of parting.

Yuris passes away, leaving behind the letters he requested from Violet. His parents take turns reading the messages, offering comfort and closure to their family. The letters become a lasting testament to his wishes and Violet's care.

After the island events, Violet composes a final letter addressed to Gilbert. The letter conveys her feelings and the hope of a shared future. It marks a turning point in their fragile relationship.

Gilbert chases after the departing ship as Violet prepares to leave the island. He confesses his love and vows to stay by her side from then on. Violet, moved by his words, makes a bold choice that changes their path.

Violet resigns from CH Postal Company so she can live with Gilbert on the island. She leaves the corporate life behind to begin a new chapter with him. Their life together becomes the foundation for their future letters and moments.

In the present, Daisy visits the island to learn from locals about Violet's history and the affection she inspired there. The community recounts how Violet touched many lives through her letters. Daisy then writes a letter to her own parents, continuing the tradition of letting feelings be put into words.
