The Botanist

Set in a remote village in Xinjiang, China, a young Kazakh boy named Arsin, who finds solace in the company of plants, meets Meiyu, a spirited Han girl whose unpredictable nature reminds him of a rare, otherworldly plant. As their friendship blossoms, it deepens into a delicate, dreamlike allegory that blurs the lines between reality and the enchanting world of botany.
