The film opens by introducing Daisy, a young girl who discovers letters written by Violet Evergarden to her late grandmother. Daisy becomes fascinated with Violet’s past as an Auto Memory Doll before the construction of the Radio Tower and the start of telephones in Leidenschaftlich. She embarks on her quest to learn more about dolls, while she is particularly fascinated by Violet’s decision to leave when she reaches the age of eighteen.

Coming back to the present, Violet’s fame continues to rise after her constant success with writing letters. Despite her efforts to conceal her wounded heart, the one thing that she has yearned, for years has yet to arrive. Simultaneously, she follows a ray of hope that the man who once told her, “I love you “, is still alive, despite the passage of time.

At the same time, she comes across a boy named Yuris, who requests her to write letters for his family despite the lack of funds. Yuris tells Violet to deliver those letters on the day he passes away.

But Violet gets overwhelmed by her own emotions, which remind her of her past and the man she longs for. She makes a Pinky promise to the sick kid, that she will deliver them to his family on the day he goes to heaven.

On the other hand, Claudia discovers a letter that has Gilbert’s handwriting on it and takes it to Dietfried for confirmation. Claudia then takes Violet to the island of Ecarte, where the suspect Gilbert is staying.

Claudia meets Gilbert and asks him to meet Violet but he refuses. Regretting and blaming himself for everything that has happened to Violet, Gilbert tries to avoid them as much as he can, which hurts Violet deeply.

Violet then writes a last letter to Gilbert and prepares to depart from the island. But Gilbert who couldn’t hold himself anymore runs after Violet to reunite again. He says the same words,” I love you”, to Violet over and over again. The movie ends.
