Synopsis

A man writes on the wall of his prison cell: “Peace. My love. Home.” In the background, gunfire erupts and bombs explode. He hopes, one day, someone will find his letters and send them to his love. In leaving the country, the conflict and the reason for the man’s imprisonment ambiguous, ‘A Letter’ evokes a universal appeal to remember those caught in the violence of war.
