for the plantations
of Cochin China.

1:05:04
You need do nothing,
just be here.

1:05:24
For the first time,
I let someone else take over.

1:05:28
Madame Minh Tam
had arranged everything.

1:05:30
Camille was with her
and would marry Tanh.

1:05:34
Camille returned to her relatives.
1:05:37
She was shut inside the palace
for days of meditation...

1:05:39
and purification,
imposed by court tradition...

1:05:42
upon fiancees.
1:05:51
Being a European,
I couldn't be at the ceremony.

1:05:55
But Madame Minh Tam had arranged
a meeting with Camille...

1:05:59
the day before the engagement.
1:06:32
I saw Emperor Ming Mang's tomb.
1:06:35
He was 25 when he began
searching for his burial place.

1:06:40
One day he tound the place. It
resembled a place he'd dreamt about.

1:06:47
So, he designed it.
1:06:49
He had trees and flowers planted...
1:06:52
in gentle, continuous lines.
1:06:55
Not a single broken line.
1:06:57
Once it looked exactly
like in his dream...
