1:08:14
For the first time,
I let someone else take over.
1:08:18
Madame Minh Tam
had arranged everything.
1:08:21
Camille was with her
and would marry Tanh.
1:08:25
Camille returned to her relatives.
1:08:27
She was shut inside the palace
for days of meditation...
1:08:30
and purification,
imposed by court tradition...
1:08:32
upon fiancйes.
1:08:41
Being a European,
I couldn't be at the ceremony.
1:08:46
But Madame Minh Tam had arranged
a meeting with Camille...
1:08:50
the day before the engagement.
1:09:25
I saw Emperor Ming Mang's tomb.
1:09:28
He was 25 when he began
searching for his burial place.
1:09:33
One day he found the place. It
resembled a place he'd dreamt about.
1:09:40
So, he designed it.
1:09:42
He had trees and flowers planted...
1:09:46
in gentle, continuous lines.
1:09:48
Not a single broken line.
1:09:51
Once it looked exactly
like in his dream...
1:09:54
he said...
1:09:57
''I can die.''
