About the film
Garden of Kin is a comedy by Chinese creator Yang Xuan, finished in 2025 and running about 11 minutes, hosted on caisroom, CloudWalk's curated platform for AI cinema. The synopsis says it draws on familiar scenes from family reunion dinners across Greater China, where talk slides from polite chatter into blunt candor. It's set on the first Lunar New Year's Eve after the mother's death: a father from northern China, siblings from Taiwan and a son-in-law from Hong Kong sit down to cold leftovers. When the power goes out, they start playing Guang Sanyuan, a Chinese drinking game where players take turns naming things in a category, this time a garden. The screening page lists Gemini, VEO, Kling AI, Minimax, SUNO AI and Vidu AI, and tags it as comedy and fantasy.
