Inspired by Charles Bukowski's An almost made up poem, the film begins with a reclusive writer Henry – on his return from afar – finding a pile of letters. There is no salutation and signature, there are just poems written on outdated train tickets that remind him of his own current literary inability. After a while his imagination seems to be reawakened – he is even able to start writing again. If he only knew who is the mysterious woman who writes the letters. This unknown beauty and unsettled poetess might be his femme fatale, his infinite source of inspiration. But she wastes her magic in pointless affairs with different artists. While trying to escape this lifestyle, she decides to set her hopes on the unsuspecting writer. Could the successful author recognize the letters as a desperate call for help? Timeless story of a platonic and unrealized love between Henry and his out of reach yet real muse touches two levels. Both the dreamy, poetic level and the painful reality are connected by the delicate beauty of the wounded and wounding poetess. (official distributor synopsis)
