She tells him that there is the ghost of a young Japanese woman constantly by his side. The man and Yuki establish a relationship of tenderness and care. The man finds out he was a former police chief who had resigned after the murder of his wife by some criminals acting out of retaliation.After disappearing without leaving a trace and committing murder in revenge, he is now not only in danger, but on the run from the police. The man decides to drive away with Yuko and start a journey that leads them to the legendary island. There they will eventually find what they have lost and rejoin, each in their own way, their loved ones.The project deals with the thriller genre combining a "ghost story", a "gangster story" and a "fantasy story" which should be set in Japan, Kyoto, and in Italy.White Flowers is an amazing fairy tale able to make meet Italian and Japanese cinema, an ideal movie on which to build a solid financing project and an innovative marketing strategy.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
