A decade after the death of an American TV star, a young actor reminisces about the written correspondence he once shared with the former, as well as the impact those letters had on both their lives.
Melancholy and intimate, this quiet drama unfolds through the paper trail of a secret long-distance friendship. Handwritten letters bridge the gap between a budding actor and a fading icon across decades of shifting lives.
