A melancholic exploration of desire and disillusionment, where the fantasy of love letters proves more intoxicating than the messy reality of an affair.

After discovering a box of old love letters sent to her mother by a mysterious stranger, Anna, a young radio deejay, begins a torrid affair with a married man. Burning attraction brings them together, but the reality does not come close to the passion expressed in the letters.
